Howdy, It's been forever since I posted here. Due to those crazy things that happen in life, I haven't had time. I'm don't even have the luxury of reading the FML daily like I once did. I'm lucky to read it once a week. But yesterday just happened to be one of those few times and I caught a post that I just had to respond to. It was Danielle's post concerning Dr. Barbara Deeb. I had to respond so Dr. Deeb's name doesn't get smeared too badlly. I've been going to Dr. Deeb (not Deebs) for almost 4 years now and I'm one of those people who "swears by her". In that time she has gotten me and my weezils through 1 left adrenal, 2 right adrenals, 1 swollen prostate (poor Ka-Boing! couldn't pee), 1 case of insulinoma, one nasty re-descenting (the descenting was botched earlier by another vet), respiratory infections, 1 spider bite, a few mast cell tumors, multiple teeth cleanings and a myriad of other minor medical problems. From my perspective and in my dealings with her, she has been nothing but a caring, professional, excellent vet. I feel she truly cares about the animals. I saw evidence of this just a couple weeks ago when Ka-Boing! went in for an ultrasound of his right adrenal. When she told me about the golf ball-sized tumor inside my ferret, she seemed almost ready to cry. She had done 3 ultrasounds that day, and all of them turned out to be the worst possible situations. Dr. Deeb can treat my ferrets any day. I'm not saying Danielle is wrong, nor am I trying to say she's trying to stir things up. It may have happened just like she said. I can't say. I wasn't there. It may have been a mistake on Dr. Deeb's part. Deeply regrettable, yes, but she is only human and can make mistakes. Or maybe Danielle is trying to stir the pot and get a little animosity going. I just don't know. Like I said, I wasn't there. I just wanted everybody to hear this side before you form any opinions about Dr. Deeb. Thank you and good day, Limejello & The Weezils of Doom http://home1.gte.net/wrenched [Posted in FML issue 3273]
