Canadian Health Care

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 the 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.
day or not I'll be there:)
