Top doctor jumped the queue

Top doctor jumped the queue

Brian Day got his daughter in for an MRI on her knee right away because he is a doctor. He is also president of the Canadian Medical Association. Is it okay for insiders to get preferential treatment over the general public. He says he did nothing wrong so seems to have a sense of entitlement. There is a myth in Canada that there is not a two-tiered health care system, in fact it is multi-layered where persons of privelege get faster and better treatment like hockey players, politicians, and influential doctors and the rich can afford to leave the country for medical care they would have to wait for here.
