Ryan called the landlord to explain the medical situation and ask for an extension.
A patient’s rent became due while having an unexpected lengthy stay in the hospital. Unfortunately, the patient’s landlord has a zero-tolerance policy concerning past due rent—translating to immediate eviction. Ryan White, RN, learned of the predicament his patient was in and called the landlord to explain the medical situation and ask for an extension. This, along with the level of care, empathy, and urgency that White showed the patient consistently throughout his stay was above and beyond his expectations. White’s commitment and dedication to all under his care are truly amazing.
