Now, I think it's REALLY a good thing.
I particularly like the eighth entry on the second page. Though the last two lines on the third page, showing what the insurance company paid, are pretty damned impressive, too.
I paid for several large pizzas to be sent to the ortho floor where I was a resident for two days, to thank the nurses for what they did. I feel like I should send some to the insurance company, too!
Oh, and my tab for all of this?
A hundred bucks.
Thank you, Health America.
Amazing. A hundred bucks. Very thoughtful of you to take the time and effort to thank the nurses, too. I don't believe that they get as much recognition as they deserve. I'm sure they appreciated your kindness.
ReplyDeleteI know they appreciated your kindness!! Thanks for thinking of them.
ReplyDeleteI was glad to do it. I got the distinct impression it didn't happen very often. I told one of them that I was naming her (and three others) to the 'service manager' (I forget the actual title) because I was so impressed, and she said that that was good; getting such comments was the only way for her to get an above-average rating. Guess there's no box for 'pizza' on their eval forms.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's some great coverage and the breakdown quite complicated. I laughed at the one you pointed out (Super Bowl).
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine there being that many appreciative patients like you. I'm sure your kind gesture was more then smiled upon by those nurses.
Well, I DID want to make a positive impression on the cute LPN who worked at night... but I guess its just as well that I haven't seen her since then. My wife might decide to let me see how I like having other extremities broken, shattered, and otherwise confungled.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I came across this post in a different blog. It made me happy all over again that I have insurance -- http://www.mylifemypace.com/
