vets take advantage

In two cases, 4 months apart, two different vets:
both estimated or said about $400 to examine, blood work, x-rays and to keep
cat until morning.
When cat was picked up, both vest presented bills for $1200.  The 1st one
gave in little and was vary arrogant with weak justification, the 2nd vet,
after my complaint, reduced the bill to $440.
It is my conclusion, that a business practice of vets is to lure customer
in, then prey on their emotions to milk the maximum cash.
The cases above do not include the additional vet highly recommended
treatments, like blood transfusion, daily dialysis etc. which were highly
beyond our means.

I feel the vet industry is ripe for some sort of control as we have seen in
the human medical industry and maybe a better and more appropriate example
is the rules and conditions mortuaries now have to operate under.  That
business in the past, like vets today, manipulated and influenced those who
were in grief, feigning shock that you wouldn't want to have the best money
can buy for your loved ones.

I am left with an extremely fowl taste of the vet industry and I hope
someday reforms as seen by mortuary and medical industry can become more
prevalent from state to state for vetinary.  It is shameful and disgusting
the way vets feed on human emotion to line their pockets.

look at it this way: people doctors, car mechanics, computer technicians,
and people in other professions do the same thing.  IMO people who can take
advantage do it, most of the time.

I could offer you some suggestions:

first off strangle the cat so there's no mutilation, and then stuff them and
set them outside the doorstep so they may be considered decorative.

some thoughts my dear, learn how to spell would be the first one. Secondly,
your cat is a food animal, suck it up. I will not leave you alone. It is my
intention to destroy this newsgroup. I fail to see how you will stop me.

Must be a teenage male with no life again.  Usually trolls are.  Teenage
females have too much to do.   Go away and get a life.  Stop sitting in
front of your computer and go do something productive.  Get a job, a
girlfriend maybe.  Go do things normal teenage males would do. Skateboard..
get arrested by the police Geesss...

It's called a resume.  Print one out and drop it off at places.  It's called
getting a job.  Making money being responsible.  It's called getting a life.
Maybe a car to drive.  Normally trolls are people who are bored with their
lives and have nothing better to do then spam newsgroups.   I think you both
need to seriously consider going and getting a job and getting away from
your computers.  People Trolls. go out and get a life. Talk to people in
real life.  Get girlfriends, or boyfriends, have fun!   Drink smoke have sex
do drugs!!! Geeks like you need to have more fun in their lives.

I think if they went out and procreated they'd have something better to do
then spam the newsgroup.  We should point them in the direction of the sex
newsgroups maybe.  They might get some excitment from em!

Just FYI - there's also a Bloomington Illinois, one in Minnesota and one in
Michigan (suburb of Detroit) - and I think there might be one in California,
too.

We should all chip in and maybe buy these people a couple of lottery tickets
and hope they win.  With all that money they have it might help us get rid
of em.  Better yet we could buy em a hooker.  It might help.

Okay miss dumbass with former temporary license plate tag #F144549
INDIANA. I am not as stupid as you look. Want to press me some more?
Come on, come on let me destroy your life. Some good advice - shut up
before I post your name and address in every newsgroup. Think I'm
playing just to be saying it? TRY ME!!!

Find a Vet that has cats & really loves animals & has pymt. terms &
competively priced. Grill the receptionist on the phone when cking out
Vets - if they have no cats/pets, why? Will they give a discount for
multiple pet homes? Mine gives me a flat 25% off, deal made as I had 4 cats.
First visit - how does he treat your cat, if no natural affection/caring
there get rid of him - it's a money thing. The Vets that ripped you off in
unfair business practices (gouging) Complain to; Better Business Bureau...
Take it to small claims court & sue if bill was unfair. Send Vet. ltr. of
complaint & demand refund. Best thing is to find a regular Vet after
research & stick with him. There are some really good ones.
------------------------------------------------As per identity disclosure &
threats to Magic Mood Jeep --- change your email & account names though
troublesome worth it. The disclosures already made will then be obsolete &
fade into post history fast. Change the tag# if worried, print out the
threats & go to the Police if serious threats are made. That crosses the
line of trolling & hacking. Also a hacker/troller here sent me a virus
called; W32/Suij.B.  Also animal activists can help track animal cruelty
cases. According to the posts here several cat hating trolls profess to be
torturers, rapists, killers,stalkers,... I say may their words befall them &
awaken redeemed cat lovers. Because what goes around comes around & it's too
bad, the world is a bad place & produces bad people. Why not troll in
subjects not pertaining to death & hate & destruction? Then trollers would
be all that instead of despicable downers - some trolls are eloquent &
brilliant, while others mere trash. Threats work 2 ways on the net for all
to see - maybe cat loving hackers will see & go troll hunting & shut it
down. Soon I will be recruiting good hackers to track down & destroy animal
cruelty sites on the web. Seems the only way to eliminate the sickening
trend. Oh and I'm not afraid of Mars Project - he killed me once and alas I
live! -with yet another name! And countertroll is too boring for me due to
his poor verbal skills & sloppy style, can't see emp. in the writing field,
maybe garbage-man. Mars find a good subject and go pro writer, you're
skilled. Loose the evil before it eats you right up.
