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 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 for 6 months from then.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?





The FIRST is a Golden Retriever.

The SECOND is a Senior Citizen.
another difference--> the first pays cash for the care
