A Trip To The Vet

My wife, June, and I took our house cat into the vet this morning and I got to thinking about a trip I made with one of my dogs. After sitting for a few minutes, in the waiting room, my dog and I were placed in a examining room. Just a few seconds later one of the vets, Dr. T, came into the room. Dr. T only worked a few days a month. He was part owner but he was semi-retired. He was looking around the room and finally saw a thermometer. He grabbed it and said, “there’s my thermometer. Every time I turn around someone is getting my thermometer!” The center area was where the microscopes and other test equipment were kept. On the other side were more examining rooms. I watched him go back across to another examining room.

Dr. B came in and examined my dog. She was running a fever so he gave her a shot and me some pills to give her over the next few days. Dr. B said, “give her a pill twice a day and check her fever twice a day. If the fever goes up you get her back in as quick as you can.” I told him I would. I said, “I’ll pick up a thermometer on the way home so I can check her.”

He said, “Just a minute.” He went across the way to the very same room that Dr. T had gone into. He came back and said, “here you can have this one.” I stuck it in my pocket and went out.

I really would have liked to stay and see what Dr. T said when he started looking for his thermometer.
