Your pet is in pain and distress, yet you stopped to pick up McDonald's, plus every aunt/uncle/third-cousin-twice-removed before coming to our hospital. And clamoring around the (curtained) windows to try to sneak a peek at the puppies just pisses off the staff.<br /><br />-- Please don't ask me to speak to your spouse/parent/bookie/pimp on your cell phone. I saw you pull it out of your cleavage, and I also saw the NBC special where they cultured the crap that grows on people's cell phones. Gross.<br /><br />-- Sorry you spent $2000 on your designer-breed "Cocker-Pug-Beagle-Labrador" mix and didn't have any money left over for vaccines and, now, treatment for Parvo.

Wetlaufer - I cannot and would not dare to speak for my esteemed colleague who authored this post, but just speaking from my own personal experience I gotta say, there is truth in it. It has nothing to do with either fatphobia or antifatitism. I happen to have a person of size working closely with me in my own clinic. The sad truth is that exam rooms are of finite size, and for some reason, there are people who feel the need to bring an entire tribe of relatives with them. It's not possible to work in those conditions. Also unfortunately, I have clients who literally - really, literally, as in absolutely this is the truth - do not themselves fit through the exam room door without ten minutes of self-squishing. And they bring friends. And there is just no ROOM for them in the exam room. Honestly, I would like to interview them in the waiting room, examine the pet, and then go speak to them again, rather than try to be wedged into the small exam room with them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822266062611909215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-45465822155091170232012-01-09T16:31:45.479-08:002012-01-09T16:31:45.479-08:00V.

It's not fatophobia--I have literally been in an exam room with six freaking people (four of which did NOT need to be there) and ended up getting yelled at for stepping on people because I didn't have room to move.

Someone was rude to them. This is the usual reply from someone who doesn't like our recommendations & estimate for treating/surgery.<br /><br />3. The Dr or tech was condescending to them. Sorry, we could only get down to a 3rd grade level of communication. If we go any lower than that level, we'd need you to bring in an adult to translate for you. This usually arises from people who have used the #1 &/or #2 complaints.<br /><br />There are a few others, but I'm running short on time. Also, I have to go count all that money I'm supposed to be making off these poor people.

I'm sorry for your loss, but if you'd have done what I suggested, then maybe we would be in a different boat. Obviously if you can afford a lawyer, then you should've been able to afford the care I recommended. Knock yourself out. I have insurance. Good insurance. And I document everything...seriously, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G...especially the part where you declined proper care. Your fault, not mine...again, sorry for your loss.ERVET02https://www.blogger.com/profile/10462059495527594503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-57413172757074949932012-01-09T09:07:46.027-08:002012-01-09T09:07:46.027-08:00What no death threats???
