Re: Vet fees as bad as medical fees?
Doctors and vets are well compensated because of their skills and knowledge, its not like they went to school for a few months and presto they are doctors.
If the wages for doctors was poor, I'd venture you'd find a shortage of doctors.

I honestly really do not understand why people get worked up over what doctors and vets or anyone makes.

I'm not sure that anyone would become a vet who didn't really want to help animals -- the dog bites, the cat scratches, the necessity to keep up on rabies shots, the sadness of having to tell an owner that nothing more can be done to help a beloved pet, the euthanasia of animals they've treated since they were babies. It is a hard job, physically and mentally, and I honestly can't see anyone choosing it as a profession for financial reasons.

I'm so tempted to say "because they are failed Doctors.........but I won't" ;-)
I think Dentists have it pretty good - good pay, reasonable hours and its not like you are cutting people's legs off...........
