TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS'
OFFICES

(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 3 weeks

for an appointment, 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.
