As you know, I tend to ramble on about medical stuff, but someone recently posted the need to sometimes keep things a bit more lighthearted.
I just saw this story:
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.
Let me think - What does this mean... Should I/could I/ Am I brave enough to loudly say woof woof when I next visit a medical centre and get some well rewarded attention? Perhaps instead I will just sit there contentedly and PPPrrhh like a cat
and i liked your 2 different approaches to the treatment
This is something I have always agreed on but of course the crucial difference is that you are paying privately in effect when you go to a vets. My daughter is temporarily living in America and of course is insured medically. However she actually says she misses the NHS as believe it or not the waiting times are shorter and you get less interventions as on the NHS only the necessary things are done.So it looks like swings and roundabouts! We need some sort of compromise.
That was pretty good! Mostly because it really is that way. Unless of course, it were an average person and one that was filthy rich, money gets things moving quickly too. So, you either need to be wealthy, or a dog to get prompt medical attention. Can't say the same about hair though...I can get into my salon with a week or two, but have to wait 6 or 8 weeks to get my dog into the groomer. I don't know what that is all about!!
