She's a biter!

A client BITES the owner of  a veterinary clinic because she was unhappy that her dogs weren't finished on time.

I actually think this is quite acceptable behavior.  The poor client was probably having a bad day because her husband wouldn't do yardwork and the last thing she deserved was some damn groomer telling her that her beloved angels weren't out of the dryer.  Yelling and screaming, as everyone knows, will only get you so far.  Pushing someone on the ground and then biting the shit out of them--now THAT tells everyone that you are not a client to be messed with.

And check out the veterinary clinic where this happened  ...

Check out what they offer; "our low cost surgeries ALL include a shot of pain ..." 

That's what I want for my pets.  A shot of pain that lasts for 12 hours. 

Guess you get what you pay for.

Book Proposal!

During my sabbatical, I wrote a book about my adventures in veterinary medicine.

Now don't get all excited: I've lost about a third of it due to my hard drive crash and what I have needs a lot of edting. Let's just say that you ain't gonna see it in Barnes and Noble this Christmas.

But I have to come up with a really rocking title. Something that someone is going to read and say, "I have to buy this book!". I've spent the last hour trying to come up with something good but for some reason, I just haven't nailed it yet.

Here are some that didn't meet my high standards:

How veterinary medicine has made me want to work at Starbucks

Sometimes I want to bite back: Revenge tactics of a punctured veterinarian

Anal glands and abscesses: how to live your life in the animal fastlane

Doc, can I pay later? No, you can't: The tough economics of veterinary medicine

I went to college for eight years so how come I make as much as a plumber? and other questions you should ask yourself before you rack up $200000 in school loans.

Staff members that have driven me nuts

Cute kittens and pampered puppies: why can't all my patients be like them?

Buy this book so I can retire

Is it just me or did you pay way too much for your dog? questions I would like to ask owners but haven't
