Hi all,
I got a few questions about X-rays.
1)
Do X-ray images come normally by default with a date and time on it?
2)
Are X-ray images the property of the vet even if it's you who paid entirely for the production of those images?
I am asking because the last vet we used rejects our query for giving us the X-ray images of our tortoise that has died. She said via her receptionist that those X-ray images "are her property and she wouldn't give them to anybody".
I am now recalling that on a particular appointment the vet first mentioned that X-rays wouldn't show much but then took the tortoise with her for X-rays into another room but we have never seen those X-ray images.
So, I thought that wouldn't it be an easy way to make some quick money with X-rays never taken or showing X-rays from other tortoises especially if those X-rays images don't show any particularities?
Thinking even further on all those blood and stool tests that show "Coli bacteria" or "few worms" or only an imbalance of white and red blood cells when we knew already that the tortoise had an infection.
