One can describe themselves in numerous ways and have a meaning unique in perception to others and to themselves.
I have been accused to be a Vet-bash-er, unreasonable intolerance for a "whole group" of professionals, because I have taken a public stand in October of 2006, after decades of veterinary care for multiple dogs & cats.
Ummm, no. I am not a vet bash-er, simply a "bad" vet bash-er, and a system that affords no deterrent at all.
A year or so ago, I got a phone call from a young lady that told me of a terrible experience of xyz in a town miles away from here, and how she decided to go to Dr. Pq and asked me "if I knew anything". It just so happened I did from many, many years ago. I simply stated my experience with Dr. Pq was a good one: ethical, kind, and skilled over a long length of time. And my visits had become a travel burden to remain a client.
Sound familiar? How many of us Pet-owners have made a "change" for reasons completely unrelated to dis-satisfaction? How many of us have found ourselves un-expectantly abandoned by move, retirement, illness of our trusted professional?
So when you, the reader, peruse my blog or website, and think "oh, this person is just a negative individual, with an agenda"...please consider, that my 'good' experiences have far, far outweighed the 'bad'. But everywhere, the 'bad' can be *very, very* inexcusably bad. And pet patients can't talk, and YOU, the consumer-client should have reasonable & fair redress.
So with that, I move on to my next post...
