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.
