No, I haven't, but I seriously considered it after I got an ad in the mail for a 900 number service for pets. Yes, the vets beat us to it. Veterinarians are standing by to take your calls with questions about your pets, and it only costs $4.95 per minute! (I think that was the cost, but I'm not absolutely sure.) We'd either make a fortune, or patients would not call us at night any more--we can't lose! Well, maybe we'd lose a few patients. Any thoughts? Moshe Adler, MD
