[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's an awful situation. Even though it's awful, they can't care for more patients than they can care for, and if they were maxed, they were maxed.

OP, if they had admitted your dog, would you have been okay if they left your dog to take an unnoticed turn for the worse and die in the corner, just so they could keep seeing more emergencies that kept coming through the door? Would you have said "oh, well," or would you have argued that they had first responsibility to the animals already under their care?[/quote]

I don’t understand what that means. Why can’t a vet come provide emergency care for a puppy? It’s an emergency [/quote]

Yes, you do understand.

You just don’t want to.

And in times of pandemic, think that  this might happen to you, in a human hospital, if we can’t get dangerous variants under control. It has happened elsewhere in the world already.

There are only so many medics  to go round.

This is happening now with people in CA.

That annoying celebrity even told all about their ordeal to get emergency care when post-surgery complications arose.  An ambulance carted them around to various hospitals for something like 2 or 3 hours until one was found that was accepting patients.

And before someone suggests that they keep some spaces open for people with emergencies at the emergency room, they see every last person they can up to the point of absolute maximal capacity.

Sometimes there is no more room at the inn, folks. If all the (people or pet) emergency rooms are full nearby, there is not a secret option other than to drive further, even if that is too far. [/quote]
