I can see that but I did not need to be calmed. I was fine when I entered and was ready to answer questions but the minute he started doing that it really peeved me. I was here to help my snake not to chit chat and he had such a condescending attitude that I didn't like him from the minute he spoke to me about nonsense. My train of thought was actually completely thrown off because my brain needs to stay focused on one thing and not answer questions that do not relate to it. That's just how I function. I wasn't going to jump to conclusions. I wasn't going to lash out. I can control myself in times of great crisis, especially since I've gotten a lot of information from you guys. I just couldn't handle him at that moment because I was here for Dave and only Dave. The faster he gets help, the better.
I'm not a talker either. I get to the point. I don't sugarcoat it. I don't want to sugarcoat it. When I'm focused on something I'm focused on it and it's not going to change. And when someone tries to throw me off track then I get angry. Last time I took my snake to the vet because I thought she had an intestinal problem (though she turned out healthy) the vet got straight to the point, asked me about my husbandry and checked out my snake. That's what I'm used to. That's what I want.
If I came into the vet nearly having a mental breakdown or panic attack then those questions would make sense. But I was calm, I was patient, and I was simply waiting for Dave to get treatment.
(This is great because I can access this site at my school on the craptop they give us.)
