presidents worth more than us? Options

[T00000]

So I recently came across this article on yahoo news. One section struck me as odd:

Several surgeons uninvolved in Clinton's care said they didn't think his doctors would risk treating him with newer, experimental approaches like robotic surgery or laparoscopy, sometimes called keyhole surgery.


"With three-vessel disease in a president, I don't think I'd be doing it," said Dr. W. Randolph Chitwood, chief of cardiovascular surgery at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., and a spokesman for the American College of Cardiology.

Does this mean that average people are less important than presidents? Or what? Because if these procedures are "dangerous" then why would it be okay to do them on other people and risk their lives more than the lives of presidents? It worries me you know... hm.

i don't get where you think avg people are more important.

if there is an assured way or more secure way of fixing the president then they'll take that route over something dangerous.

something dangerous is important, but not important enough to risk the life of the prez.. meaning they'll try it on someone who's not as well off or important.

sometimes they might cut you a deal like okay we're gonna try this procedure if it's cool with you and if so then we'll cut the charge in so and so.
