[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both, actually. I know dentists have the highest suicide rate--probably because so many of them are charlatans who couldn't get into med school. Vets also suffer insecurity complexes because they didn't get into med school. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'd bet a fair number of older ones fit into this category. The younger ones of course, are actually the best and the brightest (Tufts Veterinary, etc.,) I know they have big over head but JEEBUS, we're talking cats and dogs here sheeple! I think their professional orgs just got together about 20 years ago and said: [b]YOU KNOW WHAT? VETERINARY SCHOOL VERY IS EXPENSIVE! WE NEED TO GET A BETTER RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT! AMERICANS LOVE THEIR PETS BEYOND ALL REASON! WE COULD BE CHARGING THEM 10 TIMES WHAT WE DO AND THEY WOULD STILL PAY!!! LET'S DO IT![/b] And so it began and they never looked back.[/quote]

Wow, not true at all.  I have no vested interest in sticking up for vets, but it's generally known that it's harder to get into vet school.  There just aren't that many of them.  Not every state has one.  Plus, it's not "just cats and dogs" but even if that were true, doctors only have to know one "speciality" - humans.  Vets have to know all sorts of animals and be proficient at it.  I had my cat many years ago in a vet school hospital, and listened as the vet quizzed the student, and she made all kinds of distinctions with the student: "what you just said is true of dogs, but not with cats" etc.  I don't think any vet has an inferiority complex that they couldn't get into med school.[/quote]

I was being sort of facetious about the over charging, but I also said that I know that the current younger crop of vets out there are extremely bright and rigorously trained at places like Tufts V-school, etc. Even so, I still have my doubts about the ones that work on the really big, wild and exotic animals, like pandas and tigers those zoo animal seem to just quietly drop off like flies under vet care. And it's not as though the animals can complain. Sad pandas...don't get me started... :-) [/quote]
