TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES

Subject: TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES
ct


 
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.
