Exactly the point I was trying to make.  Don't just call or walk in and
let the receptionist turn you away.  Have them get the doctor.  I think I
said that, perhaps in somewhat different words.  Your clinic may operate
differently, but not every clinic has pleasant and helpful people working
at the front counter.
 
For the ferrets,
