    It's long been known that the veterinary profession lags in annual salaries as compared to other health professions.  I had a good chuckle when I ready this article in the New York Times, titled "Sued Over Pay, Condé Nast Ends Internship Program".

    Times have changed some, but I recall working 50-70 hours per week during my internship - between regular day shifts and overnights to cover the emergencies and overnight care - and the $14,400 annual salary I was paid for that experience and "right of passage" to pursue my residency training.  I'm not saying that was "right," and I did grumble now and then about the long hours - but that's what I signed up for.  It's not like it was a surprise.  I'd say it takes a lot of gall to file a lawsuit on the grounds of being underpaid.  Thoughts?

    He Just Got To Know.

    We should ponder over this matter of Underpaid Vets.
