After hours it saves me money to stay with the vet. It's 75 bucks an hour to have the tech come downstairs(she lives in an apartment over the clinic). Rick knows me well enough to know that I rarely freak out about the blood and I usually know what he's going to do anyway! I know many things I truly wish I didn't about vet medicine! I sometimes long for the days when he had to explain every little thing to me! The only time he's ever asked me to wait out front was the day Hoodoo died and I was hysterical. I came unglued after he did a deep pain reflex test with no response from Hoodoo.

When we lived down south and only had a couple critters, I changed vet clinics repeatedly until I found a vet who let me come into the back room. Several refused to let me in, even for a simple blood draw. That makes me highly suspicious. I wouldn't let a doctor wander off with my human child(if I had one!). Why would I let a vet take my furry kid?
