Boy if this doesn't hit the nail on the old head I don't know what does.....
Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint.
Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement.
The first patient is examined within the hour,
is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The second sees his family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment,
then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist,
then gets an x-ray,
which isn't reviewed for another month...
and finally has his surgery scheduled for a year from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients??????
The first is a Golden Retriever...... The second is a Senior Citizen.
