A pity it doesn't seem to give them the bones of a 20 year old but
rather the opposite :-


"Sporting-related cervical fractures increased by 35 percent from 2000
to 2015, mainly due to an increase in cycling-related injuries,
according to research presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS)"

There isn't any such thing as a charismatic ailment but if a pleasant looking fit person checks into the hospital with a broken bone or bloody arm he gets treated better than some disgusting fat slob who didn't really maintain his health and was in there because he was obese, i.e., heart attack, cancer, etc.

It doesn't matter how professional the health care providers.

No one has mentioned this before but there are allocation of resources issues at times in any industry. If the ER is swamped with flu patients and a cyclist who was hit by a car is dropped off in an ambulance, they'll work on him first.

It's human nature.
