Nice post from Mike Wagner on the perspective on customer service he gained from time in a cardiac rehab unit.

Being a patient in a hospital was unfamiliar and more than just a little scary, but considering the circumstances, a great brand experience. The customer service staff (doctors, nurses, and medical support personnel) were engaged in their work and owned the outcomes…

Mike’s conclusions:

* Customers don’t care about your problems.
* Customers don’t understand quality.
* Customers need you to manage their experience.

Full post, worth a read
