To some clients vets are greedy people who want to get rich overnight because 'how can it cost more to have Fluffy treated than to have my kid treated'. I used to give clients discounts bt have realised that they regard vets as inferior to other medical professionals and actually feel that vets should charge far much less than their counterparts in human mdicine. These days I only deal with those clients who are prepared to pay for their pets because I enjoy practising the best possible veterinary medicine. For me its either I do the best job possibl or I do nothing at all because I do not want to lose sleep over a patient I treated using a shortcut because the client was not willing or able to pay. Those who cannot afford private veterinary care can approach charity organisationsTavengegweyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265837250782393510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-90119221963174279762012-03-25T13:15:06.305-07:002012-03-25T13:15:06.305-07:00I don't think it is necessarily bragging or as...I don't think it is necessarily bragging or asking for sympathy or even questioning the vet's abilities, but a way of expressing how frustrated they are when the doctors can't find a definitive diagnosis. Sometimes clients don't know exactly what tests have been run, etc. in order to try and figure out what the problem is so they figure that by saying how much money has been spent, it emphasizes that they have tried to do a lot for their pet.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870865628069659120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-35334068136752484042012-03-24T19:33:24.103-07:002012-03-24T19:33:24.103-07:00Pet owners can pay now or pay the emergency clinic...Pet owners can pay now or pay the emergency clinic later but they will always pay in one from or anotherJaded RVThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009040077050178422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-50389347888220905472012-03-24T19:21:10.883-07:002012-03-24T19:21:10.883-07:00Well, it would certainly be different if human hea...Well, it would certainly be different if human healthcare suddenly morphed into a vet-based model.
