I'm really upset by this, b/c I really like my vet, and I thought he was a cool guy & respectable person. But now I'm not so sure..
To make a long story as short as possible, my vet fired one of his office girls, and is trying to get out of paying her unemployment benefits. I found this out when she contacted my s/o at work, and he relayed her message to me. My vet claimed that I and a few other of his customers stated that the office girl was rude to us, and he's using that as a partial "excuse" to deny her benefits (that's only part of what he's claiming as to why he fired her). The office girl wanted me to write up a statement stating that I never said that she was ever rude to me - which I did, b/c it's not true - so she could prove her case. I think there's something rotten going on: not just b/c of what she told me - but also b/c of other things I've heard recently regarding my vet..
This entire incident really upsets me: not only b/c of his false allegations against me saying something which wasn't true, but also b/c of what he's doing to the girl. It also upsets me b/c I trusted him, and I NEVER thought he'd be that type of person.
And he WAS a good vet - or at least I thought so. Now I'm not so sure.
If your vet did something like this, would you find another one?? It's not as easy as it sounds in this area.
We may have to find a vet that's 40 or more miles away from us. And we also would need to find one who's willing or able to provide the Interferon that Geronimo & Winchester HAVE to have in order to stay alive & healthy. I'm not sure if there is another vet in the area who can get the stuff..
Another problem is being able to find a vet who allows a payment plan: most vets won't, and we usually can't afford to pay everything all at once. My vet let us make payments, and it was our saving grace on more than one occasion..
I'm really shaken by this, and I don't know what to do..
It's a real kick in the butt when you find out that someone you trusted - especilly when it comes to your furbabies' health & welfare - turns out to be not such a nice person after all..
