TWO PATIENTS

Two patients limp into two different  doctors' offices with the  same complaint: Both have trouble walking and may require hip surgery. Patient 1. is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following  week.


Patient 2. 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, pending the review board's decision on his age and remaining value to society.


Why the different  treatment for the 2  patients? The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a  vet. The SECOND is an American Citizen on ObamaCare.


After November, if Hillary is elected... we'll all have to find a good vet!
