TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES



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 3 weeks

for an a ppointment, then waits weeks to see a specialist

then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week

and finally has his surgery scheduled for a month from then

Why the different treatment for the two patients?



The FIRST is a Golden Retriever.

The SECOND is a Senior Citizen.

Next time take me to a vet..
