Veterinary medicine, human medicine, the practice of good and evil, but I already see a worrisome trend in the area of veterinary medicine. It was a time when vets treat animals for the love of animals, because they take care of. Veterinary medicine, human medicine had gotten bad, in some respects even worse!
Many people at least have medical insurance and there are no plans for people who need medical treatment. For pets, Yes, there are medical insurance are available, but compared to the numbers of pets, there is still no wide coverage. Yes, there are several programs with low but they mainly spay/neuter programs and vaccination.
Veterinary medicine has become "big business" of the revolving door, the bottom line. Vets most require advance payment of 75% for any type of surgical procedure, if there is doubt about paying your Bill, you can easily upload thousands of dollars, they will not touch your pet. Visits to the vet and cost almost $ 800 with the dog and cat owners $ 500 last year, according to the Association of American manufacturers of Pet products and it's just average!. Vets how you are ready to set up payment options.
I came across a few stories in the news recently that really bothers me, "Ben vets holding dogs" ("guarantee"), "threatens the death above banknote. Doctors do not even make people thing, then how can you avoid it vets? Because the animals are considered but the property?
Gomez Josh Gwinnet, Georgia, says vet, Dr., innocent of animal hospital payments PetFIRST has its black mdalath, pilot, guarantee bordr and send him to shelter animals that he euthanized.
Gomez has paid an agreed the innocent on the amount of virus in the treatment of $1,125 of the pup in August. The next thing he knew there were all sorts of additional charges, which did not have in law has jumped to $1,640 and growing every day, with the vet holds dog, due to the increase in payment of $ 27. As of 14th of September, Gomez owed almost $ 1000 more than what he initially agreed to pay the innocent of Dr, and live in the hospital. PetFIRST Approximately 22 years old, a teacher of music home Gomez says he simply has no money to pay the outrageous fees. He already has run up $ debit of his girlfriend, that loan $ 750 from his employer.
Just what the Dr. innocent has to say about it, "he is such a twit, he only needs to pay the Bill."
How is that of understanding and compassion?
On Tuesday, vet plans to send the dog of Gomez, the pilot, the shelter animals. Gomez has filed a lawsuit in Gwinnett Court this week as jurist to block innocent PetFIRST animal hospital animal-driven pilot to control. His lawyer, Ed McCrimmon, says law Georgia is unconstitutional because it allows pet clinics to take people's property without "due process".
Another story from San Antonio, Texas, Jacqueline Haynes rescued from the streets little Chihuahua. It is really really good Samaritan, help the needy beast. And of course when the little dog, which she named Machu, ill, she took him to the vet.
Haynes, 76-year-old widow, said in the vet she couldn't pay the more than 100, the vet said her OK, dog care and commitment of its 70 €. Sounds pretty good so far, right?
Also the next morning was a donkey so Haynes Machu took it back, another $341!
After two hours when she was back in the emergency room with her little dog that he was worse yet! "It was definitely me anxiety attack," said Haynes.
Here the dog was already care and sent home twice in all $434, after explicitly said the vet that Haynes was only fixed income could afford $ 100. I do a bit of a reputation as a veterinarian without better in obviously status and frankly Haynes to know what was wrong with the dog or if he did not know, at least tell her that he will not be able to handle the dog in its financial restraints and allow her to see if it can find other options. Don't have time and again the dog care, dog, and he was sent to her home only to give her back the dog for "emergency" and more!
The last time she was unable to pay the Bill, were forced to abandon her little dog at vet because, of course, did not let her take him home. Five days later, Haynes receives a letter in the mail.
"Tell me that if not paid within 30 days, they were going to kill the dog," said Haynes.
The actual wording of the last letter, "we intend to dispose of the animal," wording directly from a Texas law that allows vets to dispose of abandoned animals.
The vet said that contrary to the wording according to Hines, bin the beast, "they are trying to find a home for the animal, not kill him!
Fortunately for Haynes, before her little helper can be ' disposed of ', a friend paid the Bill and it's now vet Machu, she can pay her friend for a long time.
It is two stories of pets being held "hostage" with vets and threatened to "eliminate" them if they didn't get their money. I have no doubt that Haynes has put any worked Jacqueline of program payments with the vet if that was possible, after all, she worked for one and pay the friend.
And just one more. The dog is not a "hostage", but because the owner could have paid in advance, dog pain grievous was turned at the door of many vets, even though the owner offered to set up payment plans with them to get a dog treat.
Loraine Standifer of Fort Worth, Texas, was moved to La and is a member of the Shepherd-mix, Amir. Everything was fine until one day her friend from work and found someone had poured liquid corozibi some, like acid, on the back of the dog. Standifer were tried, and tried to find a veterinarian who will work to plan the payment for expensive Amir analysis needs. The dog was hurt but all the vets she contacted off it.
Fortunately for her, and Amir, the rescue group is adopted by the Emir of pay contact veterinarian who in fact analysis and Amir. In fact, there are still a few vets out there that work from the heart and not with the purse.
Register new veterinarians, veterinary salaries are demanding higher salaries start before they even go to the door. New graduate will begin on 60,000 dollars a year. Higher end company procedures will pay even more. Those who practice to earn 100,000 dollars a year. I know that veterinary medicine has changed, become much more specialized. I understand that there are indirect costs, salaries, equipment, but I also feel that the medicine, whether animal or human, should practice the heart, not your wallet. What would be the impact of adding a little compassion, free of charge?
