Two Patients

Two Patients

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 time booked for surgery the following week.

The second patient sees his family doctor after waiting 3 weeks for
an appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an
x-ray, which isn't teviewed for another week and finally has his
surgery scheduled for 6 months later.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?

The first patient is a Golden Retriever. The second patient is a
senior citizen.

Next time take me to a vet

Sad but pretty much true.

That is very true.
