Don't insult veterinarians. My father was one. He practiced in a small town back where I was born back in the mid-1950's. There was a single physician in the area as well. When either of them left town, there was a standing agreement that each would look after the other's patients until they returned.

In addition, father had access to the medicine man on the reservation, even though it was half a day's drive away. In those day, the feds basically left Native Americans alone. Modern libtards would say they "neglected" us. But I can tell you for a fact that substance abuse was very rare on father's reservation when I visited as a kid. Our people were also generally more healthy and more mobile and quite inclined to leave the reservation as father did, World War II service and the GI Bill of Rights provided him with the ticket out.

Today, the libtards would arrest the medicine man for practicing without a license and encourage the sale of drugs and fire water so they could create a substance abuse problem big enough to establish an agency there to employ more bureaucrats to take care of us.

Didn’t mean to insult veterinarians. Was just using a similar field where there is a substantial difference in pay for somewhat similar care.
