If you are void of compassion, why would you work at an emergency veterinary clinic? \r

My completely heartbroken mom took her very sick cat in to the emergency clinic, and was told he had to be put down. She only had my stepfather's credit card on her to pay for the euthanasia--and they would not accept it. I called, and said I would pay for it over the phone (I live on the North Side) and they would not allow it. So, my mom had to sit in the clinic with her suffering cat for over an hour while my stepdad sped there from work to pay to have their cat put to sleep. \r

What an awful situation. The woman I spoke to over the phone was very rude and condescending. Like, yeah, we are trying to pull a fast one on you by having our cat put to sleep. \r

What is wrong with people? \r

Awful, awful experience and I wish for my mother's sake there were another emergency veterinary clinic near her home.
