OUR WONDERFUL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM!

This hits the nail right on the head . . . . 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 difference?

The first is a Golden Retriever.  The second is a Senior Citizen!
