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!
