[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 124020"] Hey VV!!!! Sounds just like my veterinarian - an absolutely stellar individual - and your answer is similar to my previous post - and his words: Well, let's put the shoe on the other foot for a minute. You are the veterinarian. [i]You have a hip replacement to do on Pookie. Cost to client? $2500 or possibly more after physio and meds. You have a C-section to do on a cow 100 miles away. Drive time is costly but you charge $75 bucks and the client hits the roof. You lose the calf because you were either called to late or it was "just one of those things". $300 more on the bill - farmer Brown hits the roof again. That hip replacement is done in your own office and surgey. The owner is grateful and gives high praise. Pays with no complaint and pays on time. The C-Section takes place with a cow tied to a tractor with a chain and it is pouring rain and there is no roof. You do not even get the offer of a bucket of hot water, soap and clean towel. It is 0300 and boy would a coffee (no offer) taste good right now. Farmer complains about price - to you and everyone within 100 miles - and then pays on 90 days. [/i] Which veterinarian would you like to be? Saw this last year when I rode with my veterinarian for a few days - just for the heck of it. Bez' [/QUOTE]
