[quote=Anonymous]My son is a vet.  He loves his job, but also finds it very stressful that he is regularly asked to reduce fees for his services or work for free.  People often cry and tell him they can't afford treatment, and then tell him that if he can't treat for free they will have their pet put down.  Sometimes they accuse him of caring more about money than animals and choosing to allow their animals to suffer.  Or they agree to treatment and then later call to say they can't pay.

The thing is that my son isn't rich.  He doesn't make much money as a vet and the practice he works for can't afford to treat animals for free.  He would love to do that!  But he isn't working for a charity and can't afford to work for charity.

My son says that he knows other vets who find dealing with owners who want free services and mistreat the vet to be hugely stressful. I can't help but think people don't treat human doctors this way. 
The training for vets and human doctors is very similar, and both are competitive fields to enter, yet there seems to be a respect accorded to human doctors that vets don't receive.  [/quote]
