Have you ever treated “VIP” patients?

Australia doesn’t have VIP patients like the USA or Europe where celebrities and royalty go for treatment.

But our VIP patients are usually someone related to a hospital executive or the friend of the neighbour of the bed manager. One time we had a major donor to the local hospital as our patient.

Have you ever come across strange demands? Requests that you wouldn’t listen to for the average patient? Did they ever name drop the important people they know in the hospital?

Personally, I think every single one of my patients is a VIP patient to me.
