Anyone got any horror stories about vets bilking a client?

Running excessive tests? Doing surgeries that ultimately ended in
death, and then after you think about it, the whole procedure should
have been avoided, or could have been avoided?

I know of one surgery, but do due to the circumstances it would be cold
and heartless for me to talk about it, or give any views on it;
however, I was angry when I heard about this needless surgery.

I happen to know first hand, that professionals sometimes tend to get
mechanized. I know that we are only human and sometimes we are just
plain ol' wrong!

Sure; there is always going to be a rotten apple, or someone who is
bilking, or running up a vet bill.

I know many of you have spent $1,000's of dollars for needed surgeries.

I wish I could talk about a certain story, but I am scared it will hurt
the person's feelings at this time; maybe in another year if I'm
still around. But what I read and heard? mmm mmm mmm, real Cracker Jack
vet!
