I knew I wouldn't be able to watch it, so didn't even try!

I changed Vet practice after they made a mess of the Grottie's castration. I was furious that they had left him with so many stitches and their response was so meh. I am convinced that a Junior did the Op despite them saying it was the Senior Vet, mind you I'd had words with him on a previous occasion - arrogant, uncaring pr1ck!

There are too many practices that are only interested in your money or more correctly the Insurance Companies money! I always ask why it's important that the animal is insured when they ask before giving you the diagnosis. All they want to know is if they have the go ahead to spend money like water or not!

The thing that worries me most is that I'd have to rely on these muppets in an emergency situation when the Vets all do that 'club together to cover out of hours thing' that they do.

I watched all but the last 15 mins or so, fell asleep.

Not exactly rocket science though....

Faceless Corporation = Bad

Individual you know and trust (ie, rural vet) = Good

Classic bullshit statements from Medivet with no interview... Rolling Eyes

‘It shouldn’t happen at a vets’ – Panorama 22 July 2010



We are shocked and appalled at the behaviour of a few of our staff, and wish to apologise unreservedly for this. We have immediately suspended a number of staff shown in the programme to have behaved unacceptably, and disciplinary procedures will follow. This will include reporting possible professional misconduct to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

A panel of enquiry, including independent expertise, is being set up to investigate all the issues raised in the programme, and will work closely with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. It will conduct a full root and branch review of the group, and make recommendations on internal supervision, management, technical procedures and corporate culture.

Medivet is committed to learning all the right lessons so that the failings exposed by the programme are not repeated.

A detailed commentary on the individual issues raised in the programme will be posted on the Medivet website shortly.

Wouldnt touch at all, stick to local independant vets.....nothing is ever guaranteed but this lot, having watched it last night are nothing but money hungry cowboys.....with qualifications!
