The way I look at it Mr sourland is if one has been to the vet and been let out then one is having a good day.:p:lol:

Oh, they let me out as soon as I paid the bill. Actually veterinarian is a long time friend that I did a favor for several years ago - I get a 30 % reduction on entire bill. Uncle Jay decided that he needed to defecate on the curb outside the office. Luckily with trusty handkerchief in pocket I scooped it up and entered the office announcing, "I have a handful of 'scat' here. That got their attention and some assistance immediately. :lau

We usually have four dogs when we go to a vet visit and we are usually let in through the back door and let out through that same door. We bring the whole pack at once because it's easier!

My vet Gloria usually asks the chicken what's wrong with me and then tells me to get on the table.:lol:
 
I think a lot of the unavailability comes from where a person lives. Here in Wyoming, there are only a bit over 500,000 people living in the entire state. Not much in the way of big towns either...the largest town only has about 63,000 people (the town I live outside of has 433 people). And things are spread far and wide. So it's hard to attract medical personnel, they most likely are looking for a more lucrative practice (meaning more patients) to either pay off school loans, or have a more affluent lifestyle or maybe to just have a more social lifestyle.

When I lived in NE Kansas, there was more than enough medical people for all types of specialties, 4 year undergraduate colleges as well as teaching hospitals. There was also a much larger population in the surrounding area. Kansas City (Kansas and Missouri) has a very large population and KC is close to NE Kansas...what you couldn't find within a 30 minute drive, you could find in a 1-2 hour drive. Pretty much the same situation existed when I lived in Florida.

So you can't judge the entire country by just one or two areas.
My nearest village has a doctors surgery. The staff are competent. The population is around 2000. The nearest town has a hospital, it's not the greatest but it saved my life and a few others I know of.
