> It cannot cost that much to start a vet clinic In 2011 it was around a million according to one article I read. I'm guessing it's way more now.

The Google seems to put that at the high end estimate. A vet clinic is still, even so, orders of magnitude cheaper to start than a hospital, and veterinarians don’t make orders of magnitude less than doctors. I expect that PE won’t be able to push it too far before vets just start their own practices much like doctors are doing.

  >veterinarians don’t make orders of magnitude less than doctors. Um, Excuse me? Yes, they most certainly do. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/veterinarians.htm https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/veterinarians.htm >The median annual wage for veterinarians was $119,100 in May 2023 https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/physicians-and-surgeons.htm https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/physicians-and-surgeons.h... >Wages for physicians and surgeons are among the highest of all occupations, with a median wage equal to or greater than $239,200 per year. You have no idea what you're talking about.

    Do you know what the phrase “order of magnitude” means? Half is not an order of magnitude so your math proves my statement correct. From wikipedia: “ Orders of magnitude are used to make approximate comparisons. If numbers differ by one order of magnitude, x is about ten times different in quantity than y. If values differ by two orders of magnitude, they differ by a factor of about 100.” I will excuse you, despite your rudeness, but next time Google the phrase you don’t understand before accusing someone else of ignorance and then going on to show them they are correct and that you don't know what simple terms mean.
