Have you ever or do you presently work in a healthcare facility or corporation where individuals are granted "VIP" statusfor better treatmentand services? This can occurfor any number of reasons.

If you have experienced this on the job, what were your reactions and the reactions of your coworkers? If you have never experienced this on the job, how do you anticipate you would handle these orders for preferential treatment to be provided to one individual over another?

Also, consider whether preferential treatment can be justified: If the President of the United States came into your Emergency Department, should he have to wait his turn at triage like everyone else?
