In many parts of the country, pediatric hospital access is a real problem.  Here in town, the large hospital has closed the pediatric unit due to lack of nursing staff, and is sending everyone to the children's hospital in Seattle, 25 miles away.

Doggie dentists don't like losing fingers when working on a patient.
