Can you share more vet reception horror stories?
A really bad experience was when the vet reception lost my pet's file. I had been going to that vet for years with my parrot. When I arrived for a regular check - up, they said they couldn't find any record of my parrot. They made me fill out all new forms and it took ages. I was worried they wouldn't know my parrot's history and might miss something important in the examination.
In one vet reception, they overcharged me without any explanation. The bill they presented was way more than what I was told on the phone. When I asked about it, the receptionist was very unhelpful and just said 'That's the price' without showing me any breakdown. I had to argue for a long time to get a proper explanation and a corrected bill. It was a very unpleasant situation.
