You are a great communicator on the phone – maybe you can offer your services to help the hospital answer patient questions.
“It's complicated because sometimes you can bring more chaos into a high-traffic and high-intensity environment by doing these well-intentioned things like ordering food delivery,” Avaltroni says.
