But I would have to be in dire dire straights before I'd ask for that. My vet has to maintain a staff, an office, equipment and a drug supply. Why in all the worlds does that make him have to pick up after the Iwannitrightnow people?Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212251348411401170.post-62941329245940478592010-10-22T09:26:59.891-04:002010-10-22T09:26:59.891-04:00And that's the problem with the world.

So I (sadly) learned early on that no matter how sad the customer's sob story is, they still gotta pay up front.Karen Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212251348411401170.post-18078082053137076432010-10-22T09:21:19.582-04:002010-10-22T09:21:19.582-04:00Thanks for the reminder of how I came to develop a...Thanks for the reminder of how I came to develop a rip-roaring case of compassion fatigue. This kind of behavior, which I've unfortunately seen regularly during my 10-year career in practice, is why I'm leaving clinical practice.<br /><br />On some level, I don't really care what I do, career-wise, as long as I never have to deal with these entitled people ever again. I'd rather be a meat inspector, and I'm a vegetarian!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
