On the patient's last day in the hospital, Richard brought in a cowbell specifically for the patient to ring.
There was a young patient who was finishing the last round of chemotherapy as an inpatient. The patient expressed sadness at not being able to ring the bell at the Cancer Center, which signifies the last day of treatment. Richard remembered this comment. On the patient's last day in the hospital, Richard brought in a cowbell specifically for the patient to ring. This is an example of above-and-beyond patient care that was truly heartwarming.
