VIP Patients Can Affect How You’re Cared For
In many hospitals, VIP patients get special treatment. They may stay in special areas or have a VIP notation on their chart, which means that whenever their bell goes off, we are expected to make that patient’s request a priority, whether it’s “I need some water” or “Can you get me some stamps?” Hospitals don’t add more nurses; they just take away from the care everybody else gets.
