You know, I'm a med student, so I have a bit more experience :) The Head/Experienced Doctor is still letting the Learning Doctor doing everything and pops in only for the visit. Also the "standard" Patients get also checked by a Oberarzt regularly. The difference is miniscule. The Rooms are sometimes nicer I agree, but the care you get is still 100% the same. The Hospital also doesn't get extra money for the treatment besides the Fee for the "Chefarzt" and the nicer room. Otherwise they'll only get the same DRG payout as for a "public patient"
