I really should take a tape recorder!

That's not a bad idea when in a long medical discussion like this. Either
that or take a lot of notes (and ask the vet to spell words you're not
familiar with).

Another option is to call the clinic afterwards and get them to reiterate
what they told you, or send you a copy of the records for the visit
(especially when there is a lot of information). The vet *should* write all
the important points down in your file, so if you call up and have a
question about what you were told, who ever you talk to (vet or not) can
pull your file and read through it. I wouldn't go to a vet that wouldn't
answer questions like this over the phone (I.e. the vet told me something,
but I don't recall what it was).

On a lighter note they
had a Top 10 list of "Why I Became a Veterinarian" I wish I would have
copied it while I was waiting. A couple I remember "You can muzzle
dogs
but people. . . . " "The enormous cultural respect veterinarians
receive"
"So I could hear 'Why didn't you become an MD for the rest of my life'"
Gotta love a veterinarian with a sense of humor


Is this the one? Seen on a facebook group I'm part of.

Yes! That's the one.

The Top Ten Reasons To Become a Veterinarian:

10. To gain decorative scars about the hands, arms, and face
9. So I can get paid half as much as an M.D. for twice the work
8. Because you can muzzle vicious animals, but people... it's kind of
frowned upon...
7. I thought I was in law school
6. Because formaldehyde makes me feel sexy
5. Because its a zoo out there
4. For the tremendous cultural respect showered upon vets
3. Because I can express anal glands better than I can express my feelings
2. Because I like 8 day weeks
1. I want to hear "Why didn't you become a REAL doctor" for the rest of my
life

There's this one too (not quite a good, but I like #1 and #7 on this
list..., after my experience today though I don't fancy doing a rectal
exam
on a Llama though)

The Top Ten Reasons Why To Become A Veterinarian Instead Of an MD. (list
#2)

10. I don't know how to golf
9. I wanted to disappoint my parents
8. I wouldn't kill my grandmother to get an A in med school
7. I would rather rectal a cow than a human
6. As a vet, I can say "bitch" multiple times each day and no one will
take
offense
5. I really care about my patients
4. My ego isn't big enough to be an MD
3. People are generally more vicious than the nastiest animal I have ever
worked with
2. I'm not a wimp who wants to spend twice the time learning one eighth
the
material
1. REAL doctors treat more than one species!!!

Why don't you call the ****ing vet and ask him, you dumb ****ing ****?

Are you *really* this ****ing dumb and helpless?

Do you come from a long line of dumb ****ing ****s?

Can you put paragraph breaks in please? Some of what you wrote looked
important to you, and some of it looked interesting to me, but in the
end it was just too much work. I no longer have the attention span I had
30+ years ago when I actually liked Faulkner.

Why don't you call the ****ing vet and ask him,

well I'd try and explain it to you (you know getting an idea of industry
standards before actually making the call) but it would fall on deaf ears

Who gves a **** about industry standards?

Either he's going to give you the file , or he ain't.

And the only ****ing way to find that out is to call *him*, not ask
more stupid ****ing questions *here*.

Rerally, it's a wonder that your dog is still alive, having such a
dumb ****ing **** like you for its owner.

but it would fall on deaf ears

No, you're just a dumb, lazy ****ing ****, and you just want everyone
else yo do your work for you.

I'll save you some trouble.

Here's a typical quote:

"she thinks it might be a cyst (do not remember the name of it)"

Which means she is so ****ing stupid, so ****ing lazy, that she can't
even remember the name of the kind of cyst her dog might have, even
after waiting for a ****ing week to get a ****ing appointment with a
****ing veterinarian who could ****ing tell her!

What a ****ing bimbo.
