People either love-em or hate-em I guess. I'm sorry you had such a rough commute to the vet, MissFormosa, I would have gone absolutely crazy!
Oh wow. That receptionist was just plain RUDE! I would seriously call back and ask to speak to one of the vets. Or go in person. Someone there needs to know how rude she was to you. I've gotten some snippy attitudes at the vet before but never that blatently nasty!
