So, what does this tell us?
> I'm sure each will have a "reasonable" explanation.
>
> 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.
