Caste System in the USA

Have you ever been put in your place? I don't mean physically, emotionally or even racially. But maybe financially in indirect ways.
What about medically?
Before I continue I think it's important that you, the reader, need a little education from one of my college courses for Jackson Community College. The class was World Religions.
What your about to read would have come from such course;

"The caste system in India is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. It has origins in ancient India, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern India, especially the Mughal Empire and the British Raj. It is today the basis of educational and job reservations in India." Wikipedia

Continuing forward:

"A caste system is a class structure that is determined by birth. Loosely, it means that in some societies, if your parents are poor, you're going to be poor, too. Same goes for being rich, if you're a glass-half-full person.

Don't think the above transpires in the USA?
Well it does, in America we call it poverty level, middle class and upper class(aka snobs, millionaires, the rich.)

Where am I going with this?
First, would think a hospital would help all classes of people. Sadly this is farthest from the truth.

Henry Ford Hospital one for those well off. A place where money is no object.

Pontiac General/Physicians Group a hospital mostly for low income or poverty/low income based individuals.

In a certain county in a certain cities in Michigan there are three hospitals where perhaps this applies and you can witness the Caste System

This one hospital I know of is nice an clean on the outside but inside there seems to be trouble brewing.

First.let me say this:

Its my believe that every doctor and every nurse be place in an M*A*S*H unit for at least one full year.Why? In a M*A*S*H you learn to treat all patients regardless if the solider has bugs crawling on the body or his economic status.

Recently, your truly was humilated by a certain unnamed hospital.

 Pressing forward; there was certain staff that highly suggested I go home wearing a green  hosptal gown and pants that continually fell to the ankles. Then, once outside could change into my own personal clothes. 

At this point I was, and still am update over the situation. So upset I feel like a "person" in a concentration camp.

As it turns out it took a manager to resolve the problem  with a pair of jeans and a black shirt. Still I left the property without shoes and socks.

It was my belief that every person is treated with dignity and respect. Not treated like those of the lower Caste System regardless if a person is carrying bugs of any kind, breed, and or nature.

Does the Caste System exist in American? How about with hospitals? According to the definition the answer would be a huge yes.

What can hospitals do to improve relationahip with its patients? 

Send staff out to M*A*S*H units for a year. Allow staff to get a full grip to what it takes in a field of operations. Let them see the flies, gnats, beetles thats swarming a patient. Allow the to witness the horror of a young soldier whose about to lose an arm or leg. Perhaps, just perhaps people will be treated far better than myself.

No patient, ought to be treated as if s/he was in a German Concentration Camp.

Will I survive? Of course! 

Thank you, life, for teaching and reminding me what is in the world beyond scrubs and medicine!
