Having a veterinary assistant diploma and worked in vet clinics I am sorry, but why does the $ sign always have to ruin a serious situation. Last time I checked, veterinarians and associates are in this line of business for the due care and attention of the animals and not for the almightily dollar.

Every time I read a story or hear on the radio that a tragedy has happened and that is it going to cost this amount of $'s, I am sickened and exhausted (go on TV and cry a river, then you will get even more $'s).

How 'bout everyone becoming a volunteer for one day a week of their "busy" lives (at an animal shelter or hospital (exercising the dogs) and forget about the almighty $!

Regardless of ethnicity, a wrong malpractice is a wrong malpractice.
