Some hospitals have hired "customer service representatives," but empowering these nonmedical employees to pander to patients' whims can backfire. Comfort is not always the same thing as healthcare. As Bozeman suggested, when representatives give warm blankets to feverish patients or complimentary milk shakes to patients who are not supposed to eat, and nurses take them away, patients are not going to give high marks to the nurses. — Alexandra Robbins

You don't always need all of the bells and the whistles. I learned in my life, throughout my journey, that I'm enough. I don't need all of the extras. I just live my truth, and as long as I do that, I feel like I'll be good in whatever circumstance. — V. Bozeman
