Internal Ministry of Health documents call ‘priority access’ to hospital care for FIFA players and VIPs a ‘requirement’ of the tournament — a concept one bioethicist says is 'very disturbing and ethically problematic'
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.
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.

You ain’t thinking baller enough. Get more machines. Create more buildings.
