So I do surgery on dogs and cats for a living. I don't think of myself as a vet. I do surgery. Just surgery. I was always a bit different from the other surgeons in our "small club" in that I always went out of my way to do pro bono cases to those in need. You know? Pay my dues.
The other surgeons used to tease me about it, and sometimes took me aside and advised me in a more serious tone that "no good deed goes unpunished"
Nowadays, about 30% of my cases are welfare or bordering on it, and most of the time, it is absolutely worth it. Saving a child's best friend, an elderly person's only company, or just someone's most valuable "possesion".
But that "no good deed goes unpunished" thing really bites one in one's ass.
An old lady brought her dog to me, knee completely fucked and the animal obviously in constant pain. She couldn't afford surgery, but because I really felt the surgery is necessary I offered to do it for her, not only under cost price, but I would likely have to pay some money myself to cover it for her pet.
She still refused and now her dog is doing better (on pain meds). She now resorted to badmouthing me on the net because I was "actually able to do surgery at a far reduced price than what I initially quoted her".
I am wondering if that is what made the other surgeons the way they are. Refusing to do any pro bono work and walking away from the needy.
People suck.
@CllrVinoReddy please can we have some update on the Alphen Close/ Paulshof water issue. Five days without water is beyond ridiculous- what happened with the meetings today?
Day 6 of no water Alphen Close/Paulshof and feeling like a hostage in my own home. The burst pipe they “fixed” last night has burst again, never mind the pressure issue which they caught on Tuesday that no one thought to fix. Beyond livid 🤬🤬🤬 @cllrfoleyward94 please step in
@Discovery_SA if you’re going to randomly cold call me to attend a
financial talk - please get my name right & don’t just hang up when I decline, a polite goodbye doesn’t hurt anyone 🙄
Am I the only watching @TheBlock & completely confused with the “rudeness” Paige is “enduring” when to me she is the one who needs to check the attitude #TheBlock
