I hate the Vet.


August 27th, 2010 by David

Now don’t get me wrong, people who dedicate their lives to helping animals are to be commended.  However it all comes at a price. 

On Tuesday I noticed my cat was not doing well at all, so I brought it to the vet.  The cat was not eating, drinking and urinating a lot, and moving slowly.  These are all signs of diabetes.  Now I’m not doctor so I can’t just guess that, instead I pay 300 bucks for the vet to tell me the same thing and also 80 bucks for her insulin, which needs a prescription so there’s no getting around a vet visit.

The 300 bucks included a demonstration of how to administer it and then the Doctor said I have to prove to them that I can do it.  I am 38 years old, in no other situation do I pay someone 300 bucks and then have to prove something to them, but there I was trying to show them that I’m capable of giving a needle to my cat.  So I prove to them that I can. 

I have a job as well I entertain people, you never have to pay me 300 bucks and then I turn around and say now that I entertained you, you have to prove to me that you can tell a joke.

The cat is doing better.
