Keep x-rays
I brought Bear's x-rays home a few days ago. The vets wife called
yesterday and demanded I bring them right back. She said someone would come by there and check their x-rays and want to know where they were. Does this make sense? I didn't intend to keep them but now I'm curious. I just got their bill for $164. She didn't even say anything about my Bear dying and I don't even feel like leaving the house. |

I'm not a lawyer but I would think that the x-rays are your property
since you paid for them. -MIKE |

You don't have to give them back. As Bear is dead, what would be the point. Is there something on the xray that might make it seem like it was the vet's fault? I always ask for and keep xrays. |

From my experience the vet owns the x-rays. It is like for most
photographers where they own the negatives. -- Larry "---MIKE---" wrote in message ... I'm not a lawyer but I would think that the x-rays are your property since you paid for them. -MIKE |

I don't know how they regulate that stuff but I do know that when one of my cats was referred to a specialist and I had to bring copies of his records, the xrays could only be "borrowed" and I had to leave a refundable deposit to take them out of their office. That doesn't excuse the bedside manner of the vets wife. I'm sorry about Bear. -- Cheryl Trapped like rats. In a chia-pet. MIB II |

Besides, the vet is not going to need them. Old x-rays are sometimes recycled for silver content, but that would be a pretty petty reason to want them back. Other than that, it sounds like a power struggle on the part of the vet's office. I am horrified that no expression of sympathy was made to the OP by the vet. Sherry |
