Title: Two patients
Post by: Clive on December 19, 2018, 11:47
So true. 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.

Next time take me to a vet!

Dogs need their legs to scratch their ears.  The retriever's need was clearly the greater  ;) .

Six months waiting time  ::)  When I had mine done it was 10 to 12 month waiting so I paid and got it done in two weeks.  ;)
