I think the entire issue at nyc is worthy of scrutiny and a medial ethics debate. It is indeed the very definition of a slippery slope to prioritize own persons health needs over another. It feels morally wrong to me, but practically speaking, how many more people have been saved and will be saved in that ER by Langone and other donors being taken care of? And my opinion of that practicality, I’m not personally offended, would definitely change of it was me or my mom hemorrhaging in the hallway while a VIP got a room for a 2 centimeter cut.

Not at nyu but I went to dropoff and wait for my friend to get surgery. Even though it was just sitting around for the whole day, I made sure to dress semi nicely, wear jewelry and makeup and look like someone that can afford a good lawyer even though I was just sitting in the waiting room. I also don’t wear pajamas to the airport in case I need a gate agent to make a change to my ticket. It’s the way of the world, but it shouldn’t be.

A very wise move. On thosee occasions when I would have to take my late mother to the hospital and I was not dressed in business clothes, I would always leave the head nurse one of my lawyer business cards.
