EGOS and professional jealousy!

After the veterinarians that initially did a work-up on Buster were told (by me) that the specialist (Dr. W.) did not concur with their treatment of Buster and actually said he not only had no broken toes, but that a cast should never had been put on him, the office manager of the first vet told his staff not to recommend this specialist to anyone!! They didn't like the fact that I told them, in a way nicer than I really felt, that they had made a mistake, and not just that mistake, but several others with Buster and two others who treated Sophie, who eventually succumbed in a way that could have been made at least more palliative and humane if treated a year earlier.

Of course I'm never going back there again and tell everybody about them. They have done some negligent things, and worst of all, are jealous of doctors who decided to invest more in their own education and become board certified in their fields (diplomats). If I had done something that potentially could harm an animal, I'd sure want to know about it. But god forbid someone would criticize them!

Most of all, I blame myself for trusting authority. Screw them.
