American Health Care
Two patients limp into two different American 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 the family y 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 6 months from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first is a Golden Retriever....
The second is a Senior Citizen. [Danlers]
Generation Gap
A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football
game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting
next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to
understand his generation."You grew up in a different world,
actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough
for many of those nearby to hear.
"The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes,
space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited
Mars...We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers
with light-speed processing..."and," pausing to take
another drink of beer...
The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and
said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we
were young.. ......so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little ass,
what are you doing for the next generation?"
