Title: TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES
Post by: Clive on March 20, 2014, 21:21
Boy, if this doesn't hit the nail on the 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 8 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?

The FIRST is a Golden Retriever.
The SECOND is a Senior Citizen.

And I bet it costs more for the dog than it would for a human to go private!   :laugh:

It used to cost me £50 a month for heart tablets for my cat!  ::)
