TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES:
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!

How's this for healthcare disparity?

That's a unique response Bobc11!
I've never seen emoticons used in such a way before. I'll have to remember it!
Oh...and have a Happy 20th B'day on the 8th!
