This kind of thing will continue and is really getting worse due to the absolutely idiotic "cult of celebrity" that drives so many people in this country.

I'm sure the hospital, its employees, and future patients will fall all over themselves fighting for the day they can stay in the new "Julia Roberts" suite in the OB\GYN ward, which will be showered with money by expectant mothers who want to deliver in the same room that Julia once occupied. What a great marketing opportunity!

We bring these indignities upon ourselves.

If the hospital caved and gave her the celebrity treatment, it's likely because they're scared to death of the power and money that can blacken the eye of the institution.

It's a smart doc that turns the celebrity away -- "Find another doc". Let them find their medical care in Europe or Cuba.

I remember shortly after Rush's hearing problems people on FR were angry at the terrible medical personnel who had taken care of him. Then there were stories that Rush's problems with drugs had possibly brought on his hearing loss--and they blamed the docs for that, too.

Stay away from celebrities.
