As They Say in Obedience Class--HEAL!

There are two patients waiting at the doctors clinic--both require hip surgery. The first patient is seen right away, admitted for surgery and sent home for rest and recovery.


The second patient is sent for painful tests and X-rays. After a few weeks he is giving medication and sent for therapy. He is put on a 3 month waiting list and has to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks after his surgery. What was the difference between the first and second patient?


The first patient was an Afghan Hound--the second patient was a senior citizen. Love Groucho.

  3. Groucho, the boys and I wish you super fast healing!! We're glad you got the treatment you needed to feel better. It's so sad that not everyone, people and animals, can.

  5. Groucho, paws and fingers crossed here for you!

    Hope your recovery goes well. Same delays here for people waiting for hip and knee replacements - not nice at all to be left waiting. Murray's Mom only got her replacement hip because she was living in Belgium at the time - the doctor's here said she wasn't in enough pain!! She could hardly walk at the time!!!

    take it easy, hip surgery requires plenty of rest!!

  10. Um... Groucho... I hate to mention this, but you seem to have forgotten to put your pants on...

    Oh well, I guess you won't need them until you recover from your surgery!

    Get well soon!

  11. Oh Groucho! You poor dear. That was a very funny post. Perhaps the human did not want his / her bottom shaved. I hope you are taking your meds and being good. Might want to rethink your fur cut. Looking a bit lopsided there, buddy. Sending all good thoughts your way.

  12. Heal quickly, Groucho. And we think the vets are better than human doctors about a lot of things.
