veterinarians with questionable ethics

RE: veterinarians with questionable ethics
When I was a kid, my younger brother kept going into coughing spasms. Doctors kept saying that it was nothing and he would grow out of it. Finally my Mother insisted on an x-ray and several more doctors later, one begrudgingly x-rayed my brother and lo and behold, there was something lodged in his lung and he was dying (stated by the doctor that said nothing was wrong and an x-ray was a waste of time and money).

To this day, I have had three Army physicals, one stitching when I was a kid and treatment for a severe motorcycle accident. I think that I am doing just fine without doctors.

My vets suck too. We have a couple cats with non-healing sores that the vet said was allergic reactions yet antibiotics cleared it up. I though allergic reactions succumbed to antihistamines, but hell, what do I know.

We do have access to one good vet, pricey and 30 miles away (not good in an emergency, but better than the locals). We brought her one of our cats that got hit by a car and you could tell she loved animals was was doing her best to save it's life.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
