Can confirm. Someone I know who retired from health care has heard from their former co-workers how hospital execs now view patients as department store customers or hotel guests that need to be accommodated accordingly and given a five-star experience for all aspects of their hospital stay ranging from the food to the rooms. This is consistent with the prior comment that it's all about keeping patients as happy as possible -- even those such as LaBelle and other special snowflakes who criticize everything and are pleased by nothing outside of their hugboxes.PL, but I have family that works in the medical field, and they frequently complain that in America it has become another ‘leisure industry’, like hotels. Instead of basically being a mechanic that works on the human body, i.e fixing the problems then you go on your merry way, it’s becoming more and more about how happy the patient is to the point of absurdity.
Izzard knows how to entertain in a way that their identity or appearance is largely irrelevant to the performance except for occasional moments when it's an integral part of the act. LaBelle and others like them have no entertainment value because they care almost exclusively about their identity to the point their fixation on it makes them one-trick ponies who are uninteresting even at their best.I have boomer family members who cannot understand basic trans issues but who really like Eddie Izzard as a public figure and thus respect his identity because he isn't so woke, his gender identity or the way he dresses isn't the thing that defines him.
