Two doctors, two approaches to patients


Will this bandana convince the doctor to see me?

FROM Corbett Brattin & the Internet:
       TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES
          Boy, if this doesn't hit the nail on the head, I don't know  what does!
          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.
          Next time take me to a vet!
