I had to offer a review of today's visit.
My Tara, the dog in my avatar, came up lame for some reason. She won't put any weight on her rear leg. I panicked, and called Whitney (the receptionist) about 9am and she made me a day of appointment for 3.
Dr Cooke and his tech gave her a very thorough exam, and diagnosed our problem. Her knee was twisted. He told me to give her an aspirin every other day for pain, and to strictly limit her activities--maybe even crate her. If her problem doesn't go away in a week or two, bring her back in.
Total cost: $18.50 He didn't try to sell me some drugs or unneeded treatments. Even when I suggested taking an xray, he said he didn't think it was necessary.
I just don't know too many people who won't try to jack up some phoney balooney bill on you. I came into that hospital ready to spend $500 if I had to, but I didn't even need $20. You tell me this ain't the place to be.....
Thanks again Cookie--You're a good old boy!
