??? People are strange. My 12:15 appointment is a little dog with neck pain. The people show up an hour early, thus they have been waiting in the lobby for an hour. After one hour, they ask a receptionist if someone can check their dog out to see if its still alive. Yikes, now we are worried, brain disease can be life threatening and sometimes neck pain can be part of that picture. Did we somehow mistake the urgency of this appointment?
One of my nurses rushes up and gets the dog and brings it to the back where its breathing and blinking and its heart is beating and its walking around with a stiff neck. No idea what made the people think the dog was possibly dead. Its not. Carry on.
