Hip Joint Replacements
Monday, March 24th, 2008TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS’ OFFICES!!!
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 a month from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The FIRST is a Golden Retriever.
The SECOND is a Senior Citizen.
