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. |

QUOTE(atpx @ Sep 6 2004, 12:30 AM) If I was going to operate on him, I think I'd use more care than opearting an average guy. I agree. Wheter friend or foe, high ranking or lowly, they're still a patient that needs to get treated. This reminds me of when my mom was assigned to take care of one patients from one of Kalamazoo, Michigan's most prestigious families. The other nurses wouldn't do it because they were afraid of the power this person held (I think he was the chairman of a pharmecutical producer), but my mom went in and did not feel intimidated by this man's status and served him like she would serve any other patient. Now if only flight attendants in carriers here in the US could have that same thought...
