THE STATE OF HEALTH CARE--just say, "oh yeah!"
 
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

Exactly--I think it's wonderful that we do take such good care of our critters--maybe we should all go see the vet??????????????:rolleyes:
