I worked a number of years in hospitals and when we had “VIP” patients they were unofficially identified as such. Higher level employees with the most experience were assigned to care for them/perform their x-rays, etc.

It’s not clear-cut. I work for a large university & I have access to an in-house health plan that is restricted to people that work for the university. That means the top profesors & deans gets the same treatment as the guy who cleans the halls.

But...this university health plan is considered one of best in the nation. I have access to a PRIVATE university emergency room 24/7 & the best doctors in the state. Everyone gets top care, but only if you are part of the university.

This is one of the reasons why I made my career here. My famly & I have lifetime access to ths private plan & I will never have to go to a public emergency room. It cuts both ways....you get better care than the public at large IMO, but anyone who works here can use it; so it’s not a closed, elite system.

Oh please stop trying to hijack this thread with diverting the emergency care one receives. You are being duplicitous, intentionally confrontational, and being a an asshole in general.

What are you? A nine year old who didn't get their Cracker Jack toy?

Of course wealthier people can afford better health care. But in emergency situations, everyone was equal in the eyes of a first responder.

You completely ignored the initial situation, and decided to throw a nonsensical piece of diatribe into the mix.

You should very ashamed of yourself, you fu@#$ing teenager.

I was a fireman for ten years and it didn't matter to me if I was walking into an involved 4 million dollar house or an EBT residence. (I had both.)

Your interruption of this thread is exceedingly disappointing for a Freeper.
