How many lives do you think the $300 million he donated saved? How many underprivileged people were able to go to NYU medical school tuition free Due to his donations? It’s okay if he gets a private room and skips a couple of equal acuity cases in the ct scan line.

It’s a hospital, not purgatory. You shouldn’t get priority based off how much of a perceived great person you are or what debt the non-profit org feels they owe you.

Realistically, nothings going to change. Anyone who’s worked in a hospital knows about “board members” and “trustees”.

For some reason you mistake this with the practice being ethical. That is not the case. Learn the difference.
