Two Different Doctors

San Antonio, TX(Zone 8b)

Two different doctors’ surgeries.


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 has an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for
another week, and finally has his surgery scheduled for six months from then.






Why the different treatment for the two patients?



The FIRST is a Jack Russell.
The SECOND is a Senior Citizen.

Next time take me to a vet!
