VIP

One of my senior colleagues developed a drastic VIP syndrome recently.

The story went like this: This friend of mine needed a simple procedure - purely for screening purpose. Being a millionaire as well as a well-educated physician, whom should he choose to do that procedure ?

He chose the head of the unit concerned.

In a sense my friend was right. The division head was not an administrator and was in fact well known for his exceptional skill in doing complex procedures.

But my friend wanted just a simple stuff.

And the rest is history.

PS. After all, a professor of medicine does not give you a faster recovery from a flu - he may give you a slower one, and possibly more blood tests.

You won't expect Steven Green will give you a perfect teller service if you just want brand new 10-dollar notes for CNY from him, right?
