Officers who outrank their military physicians and personnel who have been recently promoted receive better attention and care in Defense Department health facilities than lower-ranking service members, new research on military emergency room visits has found.
The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, also found racial bias in treatment and care in military ERs, with white physicians "exerting less effort" on Black patients.

True Story. When I was at Madigan Army Hospital the Post commander of Fort Lewis was having chest pain and was brought in to rule out a heart attack. The best cardiologist on post was brought in. All the tests were ran tropin, EKGs, cardiac enzymes etc. When the General was cleared of a heart attack the cardiologist was given an article 15 for improper hair cut and as an officer he was expected to set an example. So much for gratitude.
