When patients get described as “VIP”s it insinuates that other patients are not very important people. Since we try to give our very best to everyone I suggest we eradicate term “VIP” from the healthcare dictionary.

To the men of medicine, Do any of you get letters to “Mr” instead of “Dr”? Women physicians have this happen so much, not sure if it will make me more or less annoyed if the answer is yes.
