Very good point.

On the whole, I really admire vets. Think about what they have to go
through in school. Studying systems of different animals. Human M.D.s
only study the human system.

I had an experience with an animal hospital that wasn't because of the
vets there, it was because of the office practices, which were TERRIBLE.
I'd call to get a prescription filled, and they'd want me to come in DAYS
later. Heck, even Longs only asks you to call 24 hours in advance.

Only one vet did I think wasn't good, and that one didn't even look in
Tamsen's ears when I brought her in with a complaint about infection.

He must have been the one who got all C's in school!
