Health Care
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.
