True dat!

With thanks to Big Bubba:

Tale Of Two Doctors

Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require hip surgery. 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 pending the review boards decision on his age and remaining value to society.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?

The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a vet. The SECOND is a Senior Citizen on ObamaCare...

In November if Obama and his Czars get another term we'll all have to find a good vet.

Kid,
Once, when we had bare bones health insurance coverage, I had the vet next door come over to take a look at Mr. AOW after he had been mugged downtown. I'm not kidding! We didn't want to go to the ER unless he needed stitches. The vet, who was a good neighbor in all respects, bandaged him up.

Sadly, this is not a joke. And it won't just be seniors before too long if Obama has his way...

AOW: Even as a lowly STNA, the neighbor kids often come over to have their cuts, scrapes, bee stingers pulled out, ect. I guess their parents figure I'm good enough to patch up the minor stuff!
