I don’t think this is real. I’m a nurse and have taken care of VIPs and celebrities and aside from making the name private, we treat them no different. They’re not giving the nursing or phlebotomy staff any tips and I’m hourly and here for 12 hrs

when I die in hospital because they prioritized VIPs over my emergency care, I'll sure feel better knowing that the VIP will be publicly shamed. That will allow me to be at peace
