American Health Care
Two patients limp into 2 different American Medical clinics with the same complaint.
Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement.The 1st patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day & has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The 2nd sees the family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment,
then waits 18 weeks to see a specialist,
then gets an x-ray, which isn’t reviewed for another month &
finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients? The 1st is a Golden Retriever…..The 2nd is a Senior Citizen.
