 American Health Care System
My aunt forwarded this joke to me and thought you would have a laugh.
AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Two patients limp into two different American 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 6
months from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first is a Yorkshire Terrier, the 2nd is a senior
citizen!!
