*Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same
complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require hip surgery.
*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 pending the review boards decision on
his age and remaining value to society.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a vet. The SECOND is a Senior
Citizen on Obama Care.
If Obama and his Czars get another term, we'll all have to find a good vet!*
