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.
