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!

The difference is that case 1 ran up a bill of several hundred pounds which the owner will have to pay. The 2nd was free on the NHS. Want the same service? Either join BUPA or vote for a massive hike in your taxes to fund it

Ahem! Calm down dear, look at where it's posted (Fun Stuff) and you'll see it was posted in a light hearted vein and not meant to be taken seriously!
