It’s crazy to ask for quicker treatment because of status, instead of medical need.
More shameful behavior from FIFA.
They have enough money, bring some doctors with you.
But he is clearly rolling on the floor in agony clutching his shin, it must be a priority case.
I am shocked that FIFA, the most upstanding, uncorruptible pillar of moral fiber, would use their untarnished reputation to obtain preferential treatment.
Tell them to take their tournament down south, we have enough problems with millionaires disrupting this country.
I work in healthcare. This already happens. The problem is with codifying it.
Can confirm.
Lol Sepp Blatter can go fuck himself. Go host your kicks in another slaver state again, you dirtbag
It shouldn’t make a difference, and I think this would set a terrible precedent, but I have much less of an issue with special treatment for players than for “VIPs”. The only way I’d truly be ok with this is if FIFA paid to have increased capacity and/or some kind of lasting improvement to the hospital. But we all know with FIFA’s track record their more likely to demand the hospital pay them for the privilege to and publicity from treating their executives.
As much as I dislike private health care, for something like an international sports tournament I almost think fifa should just give a bunch of cash to the health ministry so they can have extra overtime staff on shift, and those staff can treat normal patients during that period unless they are needed for the athletes. That way everyone benefits and it all stays within the bounds of the normal system here.
Doesn’t it go beyond funding for staff? Like if there are limited X-rays machines and a player needs X-rays because they maybe broke something vs a kid who fell isn’t this plan forcing the kid to suffer or wait longer so that the athlete can go first? That’s the real problematic slippery slope of the issue I believe.
You ain’t thinking baller enough. Get more machines. Create more buildings.
Most of the machines are limited by staff, not equipment in terms of overall load. They may be fully in use during peak times, but that’s mostly because it’s convenient to book people for non urgent appointments during the day.
I was in the ER for 14 hours a month ago waiting to see the doctor, but I had my xray within 20 minutes of arriving at triage, and a CT within a half hour of a doctor looking at the xray and deciding I needed more imaging.
It’s the same thing with things like operating rooms.
