Tale of 2 Doctors

2  patients limp into two different  doctors’ offices with the same
complaint:  Both have  trouble walking and may require hip surgery.

Patient  1. is examined  within the hour, is x-rayed the same day
and  has a time booked for surgery  the following week.

Patient  2. 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,  pending  the review boards decision on
his  age and remaining value to  society.

Why  the different  treatment for the 2 patients?

The  FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a vet.
The  SECOND is a Senior Citizen on Obama care.

In  November, if there  is no change in government, we’ll all have to find  a good  vet.
