Are You Serious About Customer Service?

My medical care is excellent but the customer service stinks

John Stossel wrote his most recent blog from New York-Presbyterian Hospital Ef57ea3b Bae6 4f28 8e9e F3102e64727e, The DiJulius Group where he is being treated for lung cancer.  Stossel is the host of “Stossel” (Fridays at 9 PM/ET), a weekly program highlighting current consumer issues and appears regularly on the Fox News Channel. Here are some excerpts of his hospital experience:

“My doctors tell me my growth was caught early and I’ll be fine. But as a consumer reporter, I have to say, the hospital’s customer service stinks. Doctors keep me waiting for hours, and no one bothers to call or email to say, ‘I’m running late.’ Few doctors give out their email address. Patients can’t communicate using modern technology…I fill out long medical history forms by hand and, in the next office, do it again. Same wording: name, address, insurance, etc.”

Zuckerberg unveils Facebook’s grand 10-year plan

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, shared his 10-year vision at Facebook’s F8 Conference. It was a classic example of a revolutionary sharing his vision of how his product can make the world a better place. “We’ve gone from a world of isolated communities to one global community, and we are all better off for it,” Zuckerburg says as he hammers home his “mission” to connect the world. His message mostly focused on a message of bringing the planet together and connecting all the people in it, one at a time. “Give everyone the power to share anything with anyone. We stand for connecting every person…for a global community. It takes courage to choose hope over fear.”

Facebook made $5.8 billion of revenue just in the last three months of 2015, is able to make money from its users not just because of that unprecedented audience, but the amount of time they spend on the service. In the US the average 18 to 34-year-old spends 30 hours per month on social networking services, and 26 of those are on Facebook, according to analysts at ComScore.  Watch video.
