Two patients limp into two different medical offices with the same
complaint. Both have painful trouble walking and appear to require hip surgery.
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 7 months away, pending the review boards
decision based on his age and remaining value to society.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a vet.
The SECOND is a Senior Citizen on Obama care...
If, in November, he and his cronies get another term,
we'll all have to find a good vet!
