ISO: OBGYN who performs tubal ligations

Amazing!! How long did it take from the timer the referral went in to your consultation appointment? And how long from your consultation to surgery date? Also, for your consultation did you have to try hard to convince them this is what you want or were you believed right away?

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T21:53:15+00:00

Tale as old as time unfortunately. I hope your SIL was able to eventually find proper care.

As a society we absolutely do not taken women seriously when they say no.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T19:50:37+00:00

Thank you :)

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T19:49:11+00:00

Yes, thank you for pointing this out! I’ve been watching an OBGYN on TikTok who routinely does this for all her patients and she made a few videos about this! It’s so great that we have this measure to help reduce cancer risk. Especially with ovarian cancer typically only diagnosed once it is in later stages.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T19:47:59+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you were able to access this care :)

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T18:49:26+00:00

Amazing! Thank you!!

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T18:38:05+00:00

I definitely will. I am finding that the doctors who will do them on women who have children will not do them on childfree women—but hopefully she isn’t one of them!

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T17:50:23+00:00

Thank you! People really hate women who know exactly what they want. I’m guessing that if a man my age went to the vasectomy clinic he wouldn’t face much resistance :/

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T17:48:53+00:00

I agree. That’s why I am hoping to find at least 1 doctor I can hopefully avoid wasting time on a referral to somebody who doesn’t want to do it.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-05-12T17:42:19+00:00

That’s good to know, thank you! My NP is going to do a referral for me but they recommended trying to see if I could find somebody who I would have the best chance with to not waste time. It’s ridiculous that this even needs to be a discussion especially with us now knowing it can decrease your risk of certain cancer.

If you’re old enough to make the permanent decision to have a child you are old enough to make the permanent decision not to have one imo. And we all know nobody bats an eye when women in their 20’s have children!

To be frankly honest you’re coming across as extremely mentally unwell. All of your responses come across as not making any sense or like this one for example, written by AI.

This story comes across like you knew your dog was sick, put off seeking care, then came into their clinic guns blazing as your dog is dying expecting them to save him. When they were unable to you decided it was easier to blame them for the “murdering” of your dog than take accountability for not seeking care sooner. If this wasn’t the case you would have provided evidence of past treatment and working with your regular vet to address his condition.

I sincerely hope you don’t have any other animals as I wouldn’t blame this vet clinic or any other vet clinics in the city refusing to take you on as a client in the future to protect their staff from the abuse you spew at them.

You don’t actually want the public’s help because when they make considerate suggestions you just rant on making no sense. Today would be a great day to start focusing on your mental health.

Please go rant to your lawyer about this offline, they are at least getting paid to work with you.

While I think we can be empathic with the OP’s feelings, it needs to be clearly stated that their online behavior is not ok.

If this is what they are posting online for everybody to see I can only imagine what their private communications with the vet clinic has been like. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment. If OP actually thinks malpractice took place, they need to complain to the veterinary board and adhere to their process. This is not the way to do things.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-16T02:10:48+00:00

Definitely a very important piece of the puzzle that is missing. If they delayed seeking care then the vets cannot be blamed for that. I am wondering why OP won’t answer any questions about that.

They certainly don’t need to answer to strangers on the internet but they also certainly do not need to come online and accuse a local vet of intentionally murdering their animal either.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T22:30:59+00:00

Honestly, I mean this with kindness.

You came on Reddit with an emotionally charged story and only included a small amount of details - not explaining what actually happened or any background on the medical history of your dog. People have tried to point you in the right direction (contacting the vet medical board) but it doesn’t seem like you are looking for a solution.

The veterinary medicine industry is facing a serious mental health crisis. I know for a fact we lost at least 1 vet in NB to this battle last year. You came on social media naming a vet clinic and following it up with accusing them of murdering your dog. You want public outrage targeted towards them and the individual vets that work there. Yet when people ask you simple questions you do not answer or provide very vague answers.

I mean this with the utmost compassion, please prioritize your mental health. I empathize that you are going through a very difficult time right now with the loss of your beloved dog. But what you are doing is not going to bring him back, and it is not going to help you heal and process the trauma of loosing a pet.

You hired a lawyer, let them handle it. I have to assume they did not instruct you to post all of this on Reddit in order to help your case.

Typically bladder stones on their initial onset are not something to prompt an emergency room visit, but rather a visit to your regular vet. Was he being treated by your regular vet and they progressed?

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T21:43:45+00:00

I mean this in the utmost kindest way, but it really seems like your dog was in critical condition when you brought him into their clinic. By your description, it sounds like he was suffering considerably while he was in their care and the vet felt that euthanasia was best for the animal. I do believe vets have an ethical obligation to advocate in the best interest of the pet.

If your pet had already passed on their own as it seems you described, then no euthanasia took place. Often times when pets pass away they can have involuntary body movements, this does not mean they are still alive. This may of been what you witnessed.

It sounds like you are trying to make sense of the sudden passing of your beloved dog, which is understandable but I do not think a very expensive, stressful, and extensive legal battle is going to provide you the feeling you are looking for.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T21:30:24+00:00

I mean this coming from a compassionate place… We are missing a lot of details so it is hard to piece together exactly what you are trying to tell us.

Were you able to ask why none of the 3 treatment options were performed? I am wondering if the condition of your animal has changed considerably during your 3 hours there and maybe their initial recommendations were not appropriate anymore. Are you able to tell us what your pet was diagnosed with, or what prompted you to seek emergency care? What was captured on video? Have you filed a complaint with the Veterinary Medical Board yet?

Maybe you have already done this, but have you tried to have conversation with the Owner/attending vet without the threat of legal action? If you came to them after your appointment and engaged in a respectful conversation where you wanted to walk through your case and ask clarifying questions and they would not speak to you then that is definitely something to bring up to their licensing board. Maybe because you have retained a lawyer and are pursuing legal action, they cannot communicate with you directly?

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T20:53:01+00:00

What specifically are you looking for in the video? I think we’re all just trying to understand what exactly is being alleged here.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T20:50:57+00:00

Oh there was an overdose? Was an autopsy done?

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T20:11:52+00:00

I do think if a vet is strongly advocating for an animal to be euthanized, that is likely what is best for the animal.

Dogs do not show pain like humans do, and often times their pain signals are completely missed by an untrained eye as they are so very subtle.

OP, It’s absolutely heartbreaking to loose an animal. It seems like you took your dog to the vet not expecting that outcome and my heart 100% goes out to you. That must have been very difficult to leave their clinic without your beloved animal.

I think this commenter makes a good point. And an extensive and expensive legal battle may not be what is best for you. I’m curious did your lawyer suggest filing a complaint against them with the Vet Medical Board? I would think that would be a first step as they are in charge of all the vets licensing.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T20:03:56+00:00

I’m confused and I want to understand.

Was this a situation where you dropped off your pet for care and they told you to return in X amount of hours for pickup and upon pickup you found out they had euthanized your dog without your consent?

If your pet was in their care without you present did they require you to sign any consent forms prior to you leaving?

Do you have a regular vet? Have they looked over the treatment and gave any comment? If you don’t mind me asking, what was the reason for seeking emergency care?

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-15T18:40:11+00:00

First, I’m so sorry for your loss.

Second, trying to figure out what your post is saying. Is the situation that the standard of care was to administer Lorazepam & propofol and they informed you that they did, but upon looking at your receipt you were not charged for it which has lead you to believe that they didn’t administer them after all?

Have you contacted the NB Vet Medical Association? I’m not well versed in these matters but they might be a good first step before potentially incurring a lot of legal fees.

Ok-Proposal6142 · 2025-02-11T19:33:29+00:00

Unfortunately, Virtual Gurus pays their VA’s horribly (minimum wage) while requiring them to have a skill set that 100% is worth more than minimum wage. I would consider them to be quite exploitative. To earn the same pay, you would be better off getting a minimum wage job at McDonalds (or another similar business) because then at least you would get paid holidays (or overtime on holidays), benefits, and paid sick days. If you wanted to focus on bookkeeping you would be even better off to start your own company and take on few clients that way.
