Doctors Choose Whatz Best Going Forward : The Results Vary!? How Come?

Maybe this is a little over the top but it is true about the dog being fast tracked, but that a senior having to wait 6 months for surgery is a little much. But still a fun situation to contemplate especially if you are a dog owner and a senior!

TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS! Two different outcomes!

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

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 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!
