Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
I am not a vet, but I have several friends who are vets.
What I do not understand is why the constant vet bashing? Horse owners are among the worst. I am the tightest person you can imagine when it comes to horses, and I hate paying out on vet stuff but if it needs to be done, then it needs to be done and its the cost of owning animals. I don't see plumbers or electricians getting this grief for a part being replaced and it costing £90 for 2 minutes work.
Every vet thread I read pretty much bashes vets. Is it because in the UK we have socialised medicine? I always think every time someone use the NHS they should be given a copy of how much their treatment has cost to make people far more aware and to stop abusing the system.
I do think we are going to end up with serious issues in a few years where the profession stops being attractive to people because the pay vs misery they get from people is just not worth it.
I love my vet, they get decent bottles of champagne from me because they are so wonderful. I want them to know that I appreciate their skill and their professionalism in the care of my horses.
