I'd like to think this would never happen to me. First my vets would ask if I wanted to stay in the room or not and if I wanted to say goodbye. A big red flag would go up if my vet said I should go out to pay the bill and I would question that. But all that said this story is important in that it makes us aware that hurried people are human and mistakes can be made and we should be alert and question anything that seems out of sync.

Karen, you are one good mommie. Our vets do take the dog in the back to do certain procedures and I don't follow them as they've never offered that option. Think I'll tell them this story.
