There’s no classism in trauma. When a critical patient is in your trauma bay, the one and only priority of all the staff is to provide exceptional care ... anyone is lucky to have

-caliber of care. Excellent response by

to some unfounded commentary
@medjournalist
We r not fancy
@HarborUCLA
. But we do provide world class
#trauma
care & we treat everybody re: less of ability to pay-that includes people w/ insurance, celebrities, etc The implication that a hospital dedicated to the underserved can’t provide care to a “celebrity” is abhorrent
