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 s time booked for surgery the following week.
The second patient 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 viewed for another week and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months later. Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first patient is a Golden Retriever. The second patient is a senior citizen.
Next time take me to a vet.
