Muzak On Hold Contract: Read The Fine Print!!
My office manager and I discussed getting music on hold with Muzak. When I got the contract, I failed to read the paragraph stating that the contract was for five years. The representative never mentioned five years. Shame on me for not reading the fine print. Is there any recourse? Has anyone ever had similar dealings with Muzak?

Too Hot To Trot: Fevers Of Unknown Origin
- Do those FUO cases make you sweat?
- Do you turn red in frustration when you see that same fever patient returning again and again and again?
- Do you feel the need for a tall cold drink every time an FUO comes in the door?
VIN CE can help!
Too Hot To Trot: Fevers Of Unknown Origin will teach you the common causes of FUO, what diagnostic tests are useful, and which supportive therapies can be helpful. Instructor:
Katharine F. Lunn, BVMS, MS, PhD, MRCVS, DACVIM Dates:
Jan 29th - Feb 12th, 2004
Interactive Session: February 5th; 9:30 - 11:30 PM ET Course Description:
Fever is a common clinical abnormality in small animal patients. In the majority of cases the cause is easily diagnosed and treated. But in a small percentage of patients the source of the fever is not readily apparent, and the problem becomes persistent or recurrent. These cases of Fever of Unknown Origin (FUO) can be challenging and frustrating for both the veterinarian and the client. This VINgnette is designed to make FUO less confusing and intimidating, and will focus on the selection of appropriate diagnostic tests. Case-based material will be used to illustrate different logical approaches to successful diagnosis and strategies for patient management. CE Hours: 3 CE Credits Tuition:
