Do you think celebrities should be given the kind of treatment reportedly afforded to Kylie recently?
It was claimed that she was given 8 rooms, if true, that seems a little absurd to me.
The hospital's response is here - /news/hospital_rejects_kylie_criticism

Is this something that you would condone, or think is reasonable, or is it another symptom of a unhealthy non-system out of control?

working in the public system I was absolutely stunned toI hear this. We are kicking women out after 3 days because we have such a huge push for beds in the public system. I would be interested to hear from people who work in the private system. (I also would have hated to be looking after her, if she had enough people to fill eight rooms imagine how many eyes would be scrutinising your every move!)

Why only eight rooms? She could probably buy the whole hospital with pocket money!!! It's absurd, lots of real people out there have just the same problems and cope just fine with the system and a shared room. Shows up the link between health and wealth :-(

I think it is criminal! Dismiss the person who authorised it! Hundreds of very ill patients in the private sector are waiting for beds! This was just an publicity scam ! Thousands more women are diagnosed and treated for the same condition daily around the world and they dont have the luxury of 8 rooms! and definitly dont have the newspapers and support given to them ! A normal patient would have had to go through the system and waited months to just have her surgery done!

Just shows you! it is not who you are but what your money can buy!

how pathetic. To think that in the healthcare system we are sooo pushed for beds as somebody already mentioned, surely a hospital is just that! not a hotel.....

I'm sorry, but you guys are talking from a public hospital perspective. She was in a private hospital, and the hospital was responsible for her security and the maintenance of her privacy. Not something to take lightly. Kylie is a great entertainer, and has lots of fans, but no doubt there are nuts out there who would love to invade her privacy and sell what they can get in the market place. Remember Princess Dianna at the gym. That was a real invasion of her privacy, and the photo's were taken by the person who was responsible for maintaining her privacy, the owner. So, don't crucify Kylie and the hospital for taking what seem to be extreme measures to guard her privacy and keep her secure during a very scary time for her.
