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 the family doctor after waiting
a week for an appointment, then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray,
which isn't reviewed for another month
and finally has his surgery scheduled for a year from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?




The first is a Golden Retriever;
the second is a Senior Citizen.
