Makes sense.

Ah shit, bring it on over the America! I look forward to the inevitable follow ups:

Studies show that attractive patients received more detailed analysis than ugly patients.

Patient sues hospital for missing diagnosis because she was deemed 'Ugly'.

-"Our client's level of care should not be affected by the level of presumed attraction. We feel that a million billion dollars is fair compensation." - Shit Toucher Lawyerman

Kinda where I was headed in thought.

If "putting a face on it" humanizes things enough for people to pay better attention to patient care, then it does follow that more attractive people will get more attention.

So...what do we do? Keep it anonymous, and everyone gets worse care?

This is a sticky one.

Would more attractive people get better care? Probably.

Would everyone's care get better? Very likely.

Would the lawyers ruin it for everyone like in Corey's example? Definitely.
