The Patient Who Wrote A Five-Star Review Specifically About One Nurse's Smile
Nurses Confess The Patients Who Crossed The Line →
Look, hospital review sites exist so people can praise the care team, flag billing issues, maybe complain about the food — not to write what amounts to a Yelp review about a specific nurse's physical appearance. But here we are. Megan, 36, a night-shift ICU nurse in Denver, found out from her manager that a patient had submitted a 400-word Google review, three paragraphs of which were dedicated entirely to her smile. (The hospital's comms team had to figure out whether to respond to it. They did not.) Megan's colleagues printed it out and laminated it, which she calls "the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to her professionally." The patient gave the hospital four stars. Points deducted, apparently, because the parking was expensive.
