I often thot that, if I had anything seriously wrong with me, I’d go see a DVM instead of an MD. They charge only about ⅓ as much for fixing the same kind of problem. (And, I’m told, they’ll throw in a neutering practically for free if you ask.)
When my Dad was dying, he spent a couple of weeks screaming in pain. This was a guy who made it through the depression, WWll, and a major car wreck with a sense of humor about the whole thing. His doctor, also his golfing buddy, finally gave him an overdose of morphine and killed him. We thanked him and he warned us that he would lose his license and possibly go to jail if we said anything to anyone, and besides, he didn’t know what we were talking about. When my dog became sick and old enough that his life was more pain than pleasure, the vet stuck a needle in his leg and he was gone with no pain in about 30 seconds. I’m 75, and I have been trying to get my vet to accept me as a patient , but she has an unreasonable prejudice against my species. When will we learn that when it comes to fatal pain, being treated like a dog is a really good option?
