They don't go to the VIP section there either. There shouldn't be any VIP section there for officers and politicians at Walter Reed. Everyone gets the same treatment. Same food. The same waiting for care. The same everything.

2. Hell with that

Let him pay for it. He never served or even wanted to. Let him get in line at a overcrowded VA facilty after the GOP budget cuts.

3. Someone should say to McCain, "If you had today's Walter Reed, your jaw

would not be working and you'd not be able to talk."

4. When I was a hospital floor nurse, I was always offended when

one of our patients got VIP treatment. There was a special set of rooms that were alot larger and closer to the nurses' station. The nurse assigned to them would have a lower patient load, even if the VIP's health situation wasn't more acute.

If VIPs want more personalized care, they can do what anyone else does: bring along a family member or hire private duty nurses to check on them.
