Just Something to put a smile on your faces!!

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 f or a month 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!

D- glad to see you found your sense of humor again.... dark as it is.

J- I have been singing the praises of massage here for some time.  The expense does add up but the benefits of true medical massage is amazing.

be well,

Awesome!!  Shows you how screwed up the medical system is!! Everyone go and get a massage, possibly with hot stones and some relaxing music!  I am in training for medical massage as well as being a home healthcare hospice aide for MS patients here in Vegas. Talk about the worst state to access healthcare= Nevada!!
