Perhaps your vet asked a staff member to follow up and pay the fee and the staff is to blame... |
OMG! That is medical negligence! I work in the OR and they count laps and rays (sponges) when closing. How the he!! do vets do surgery without counting?????
I am so totally in shock that this would happen. WOW!
