I know what you mean about the vet. I had a cat crawl up inside my car engine. I didn't know he was in there, started to drive down the road, and fealt something thump along the underside of my car. I looked out the rear view mirror and saw the cat run to the weeds on the side of the road. So I get out of my car and start looking for the cat. There was a trail of blood that lead me to the cat. When I found it, all the flesh had been pulled off it's tail and all that was left was the bone. So I scooped him up and drove to an emergency vet (it was Sunday and they were the only ones open). I told them what happened, that I didn't know who's cat it was, and that I had no money. They looked at me like I was diseased or something and turned me away. I begged and pleaded and finally got an attitude with them for being so heartless. I had no money and that was all that mattered to them. What happened to the old days when people in businesses helped people who couldn't afford it?

So the cat had to suffer until a friend took him for me.

Not everyone is like this though. My family doctor has always helped me out when I didn't have a lot of money. He would give me free sample prescriptions and let me make smaller payments on my doctor bill. That is one of the reasons I always go back to him too.
