A good friend of mine sent this to me.....
Canadian Health Care
Two patients limp into two different Canadian 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 a week for an appointment,
then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist,
then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another month
and finally has his surgery scheduled for a year from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first is a Golden Retriever.
The second is a Senior Citizen.
