Tracy I know how you feel,
Thank God vets are not sued as often as Drs. but I had to deal with this psycho bitch (I think she was bipolar or shizophrenic-who knows-literally she was mentally ill) Saturday night at work. Her poor cat Lucky got attacked by a dog and he was brought in not breathing but with a slow heart rate-so about 95% dead. I rescuscitated him and gave her an est. Explained that Lucky was very very very sick and prognosis was poor and this would be expensive. Lady had no money unfortunately but she started getting more and more psycho so the hospital manager ended up having to take over the case Sunday during the day b/c no one else could deal with this woman. She insisted on treatment otherwise most likely lawsuit, so 2200$ and 4 cardiac arrests later poor Lucky finally died. The poor cat was suffering and b/c this psycho probably would bring a lawsuit we had to continue to treat-at least according to my hospital manager . I am sooooooo mad and not very happy with the hospital manager at this time. The society is getting more and more litigious (sp?) and good common sense is getting left behind plus what is rt. for the patient. Had this lady sued us-she would not have won in my opinion b/c she was mentally sick and everyone (about 10 people) in the hospital saw that but we still had to kiss her f**king ass. UGHHHHHHH Sorry i am so mad.
