ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

VIP medicine

VIP medicine is when a doctor gives extra special treatment to a patient who pays a lot of money. It's like when you go to a toy store and you have a lot of money to spend, the store owner might treat you extra special and give you things that other customers don't get.

In VIP medicine, a patient might get extra time with the doctor, nicer rooms, better food, and faster service. They might even get special tests or treatments that are not available to other people.

But just like at the toy store, not everyone can afford the VIP treatment. Some people might feel left out or not get the same quality of care as those who have more money to spend. That's why some people think that VIP medicine is not fair and that everyone should have access to the same level of care, no matter how rich they are.
