Why won't they let me sleep?!
Jul. 3rd, 2007 07:32 am3am this time.
Woman actually identified herself! And then tells me she has a cat who's had 2 kittens and has one stuck. It's half out. She's pulled on it, couldn't get it. What to do?
I tell her that if she brings them in, I'll see what I can do but it really comes down to pulling the kitten--if it's half out you can't get it by c-section anyway.
And then things go downhill fast...
"Would I have to pay anything for that?"
WHAT!?@?! It's three o'clock in the freaking morning. YES you will have to pay something for that you dumbass.
"It's $75 for the emergency fee. More, obviously, if we end up doing a c-section for the rest of the kittens."
"Oh. Well, I don't have $75. She'll die if the kitten doesn't come out, right?"
"Most likely, yeah."
"Well, I don't have that much."
"I'm sorry, but that's what it costs." (Is she bartering with me? I don't barter dammit.)
"Well, I guess I'll call a different vet and see if they're less..."
"You do what you think you have to, I guess."
oh, yeah, great idea. Go fucking price shopping for emergency fees at 3am. That'll make EVERYBODY happy. Don't you DARE call me again right after I fall back asleep.
