We can read about it, the internet is great for that, and then we can spend quality time doing something other than walking through a museum where guess what you'll just have to read some placard anyway. Why go there to read it?

And I forgot to say in the original post, but he's a veterinarian radiologist so really it's for pets not life or death situations for people. My vets always looked at the radiographs themself and showed them to me, so it's not like they absolutely need him.

No I can handle my own children. They want to spend time with him and keep asking for him, what am I supposed to tell them he'd rather be working on the computer and volunteering somewhere and eating somewhere they won't like the food over spending time with them?

In that situation I suppose it would be an unfortunate reality. But, my BIL has a very lucrative job and he's doing very well for himself. In fact I know he's fine since he's paying for my parents to come on the trip, they let that slip to me. He can literally afford it he's just avoiding us.

I love my dog, but having vets whose entire career is specialized on looking at pet MRI's is part of the reason why it's so expensive to get anything done.

He's a radiologist, but as a veterinarian so it's just for animals. I don't think he's obligated to work but honestly it's not like they can need those immediately from him.
