Boy, if this doesn't hit the nail on the head, I don't know what does!

Two patients limp into 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 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!

Nice one RF!

Just one thing....I dread to think what the vet fees would be though

Nice one RF, I thought it was going to read one patient in England and one in Scotland.

Sorry to hear you are not well Rocky Fowler
No idea what is happening with the NHS but sadly seems to be running down hill.
Take care.

Soooo sorry RF, I didn't realise you were talking about yourself or a family member, I thought it was a joke. Whoever it is, I hope it all turns out well.

No sympathy please, thanks anyway- its not me-well not in hip yet but a friend posted it to me thought I would share it
