Two patients limp into two different Canadian 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 the family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment, then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn’t reviewed for another month and finally has his surgery scheduled for a year from then. Why the different treatment for the two patients? The first is a Golden Retriever... the second is a Senior Citizen. see also   Aging,  Canada,  Dog  &  Medical  Sections   Sing It Out Cold One Cheerful Trees Rooftop Steps Racing a 'Hot Rod' Nemo Found at Japanese Sushi Bar Painting The Center Line Kitchen Recycling Work Not 2021 Hooters Owl and Birds of Prey Calendars Car-nage Noah's 2021 Ark First Dodge Ram Redneck Wedding Limo Commas Save Lives Irish Pothole Lost At See Booger Queen Incognito Mode Facebook Wedding
