The State of 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 eight weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week, and finally has his surgery scheduled for six weeks from then.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?

The first is a Golden Retriever.

The second is a Senior Citizen

oh that is so bad...
Animals also get to be humanely "put down" when they're organs stop functioning or they are in the last days of their life in pain, it's call humane treatment.
Yet, a person must starve to death, have complete organ failure with all the pain that accompanies it and die on their own b/c it is wrong to be "humane" to humans!
Just a pet peeve of mine after watching my grandparents starve to death, have organ failure, emotional pain, physical pain, screaming out to G-d to take them, and suffer into death.
