Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi , that was so funny! Only it wasn't a joke, was it? Gee, I know my cats get better treatment than I do, and it now it seems dogs do too. where does that put us poor humans on the totem pole?

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 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. in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 It was funny, but in a sad way! We should mail it to our Congressmen and women.
