I think you are missing something. In my post I say "most", that doesn't mean your hospital. While developing new medical technologies and doing the clinical trials for the technologies (that are in most hospitals), I ate in a few hospitals and I bought a few lunches. If anyone out there wants to find out what I'm talking about put on a suit and visit a few hospitals, see where you eat, what you eat and what you pay. Then try the same thing in jeans. 60 Minutes, I dare you. If they ask you if you are a doctor or if you are on staff, just say "I don't speak good English, new doctor?"(this is a question, you are not saying you are a doctor). Use any accent you like, you will get better, cheaper or free food in most hospitals. See how you are treated when in a suit or in jeans. BTW, Let's me honest, there is no need for a separate area for doctors other than they don't want people to know that they are called "gomers" (get out of my ER) by the staff. Why would it be fair for one to have his own place to sit and not for some people to get something others can't have (IPO shares)? BLUE |
