Unfortunate how? Based on the choice of car?
Unfortunate that human doctors have to spend so much time doing paperwork
Not all do. There are a few who have opted out of the insurance-based system. They run cash practices, and from what I've heard are able to spend more time with patients and charge them less because of the breathtaking amount of overhead they've eliminated.
That is an amazing (albeit gravely unfortunate) quote. I'm going to share it with some friends who are studying to become vets themselves (I hope that's alright with you).
Thanks for sharing the anecdote :).
