Canadian Health Care
Two patients limped into two different Canadian medical clinics with the same problem. 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 viewed for another month and finally has his surgery scheduled for a year from then.
Why the different treatment of the two patients?

The first one is a Golden Retriever; the second is an elderly man.
