This shit makes me sick, thinking someone deserves to be treated better or shown more attention because of their job status. I know this probably happens in every profession, say you work in a plant and the General Manager or the President shows up of course there are ass kissing going on, but in the medical field with sick patients its different everyone deserves to be treated the same. I will not treat her badly or ignore this patient but damned if she will be getting treated any different.

It doesn't work that way. It's not human nature.
When we had cops, fireman and nurses come into the ER/ICU they did get extra effort. But, just because they recieved that doesn't mean the gang banger that comes in with a gun shot doesn't get the teams best effort.
