Questions for the staff at Brambleton Veterinary Hospital

A couple of people claiming to work for Dr. Linda Jennings have weighed in, in one of the comments sections. They tried and, I think, failed to make some points.

So let me ask some questions.

1. Why would you not allow my wife to call someone who could have provided a Visa number to pay for your services immediately? She offered repeatedly to have a friend or family member do that; you would have had your money immediately.

2. Let’s say I was the horrible, mean person you want to make me out to be — that I stomped my feet and called you bad names. I paid our bill in full and on time and in cash. How does that justify Dr. Linda Jennings calling what she thought was my wife’s place of employment and demanding that she be fired? How is that in any way professional?

2a. In that call, Dr. Jennings claimed that I came in to your office screaming and cursing. I have proof that this isn’t the case. I realize you aren’t lawyers, but take a shot — how is that not slander?

3. How can you explain the office manager (TP or KP or whatever his name was) claiming that my bringing my wife her checkbook was somehow evidence of fraud? He said he was suspicious because Karen got the checkbook 10 minutes after she called me (from your phone), and he expected it to take 20 minutes.

4. How do you explain the vet tech saying that she wouldn’t give PJ pain meds until we sorted out the payment issue that you created? If he got his meds, why not say so? If he didn’t, do you consider it professional to leave an animal under your care in pain because you don’t like his owner?

5. How do you explain the pet sitters, former employees, and other people involved with the local animal community who have posted here supporting my impression of Dr. Jennings? Is it a vast conspiracy?

6. Why did you lie about what I said in your office? (I didn’t call anyone a “F**** B****”) Why did you lie about who came to your office on the 15th? (Just me, not both of us.) Why did you lie and say my wife cursed at you? (She most certainly did not.) Why did you lie and say that my wife waited to inform you she didn’t have her purse? (She told the staff immediately, in fact.)

6a. Do you think this pattern of lying is a result of a medical condition?

7. We have brought our three dogs and two cats to you for the past couple of years and always paid immediately and in full. Yet you refused all our offers of payment. On the other hand, the emergency veterinarian was happy to take our check even though we walked in late at night and she had never met us before. Explain.

8. Dr. Jennings claimed that a significant number of your regular clients pass bad checks on to you. Doesn’t it strike you as odd that regular customers would be willing to sever a relationship in that way if they were satisfied with the service?

9. Was it Dr. Jennings herself or one of her customers who was willing to suborn perjury? You said in one message that someone had clients who would be willing to testify to things they didn’t see, as I pointed out. Thank you for leaving that message, by the way. It could come in handy.
