Correction: FORMER vet. She does not now, and never will again, have a license to practice veterinary medicine in any civilized country. That profession is very well self-policed, and I expect it's no coincidence that her license had expired and not been renewed.

Yeah - I knew the distinction.... You just don't expect people with the 'stuff' to get through vet school having a pretty major screw loose. Truth is stranger than fiction!

Unfortunately we got one of these screw loose veterinarians in my town. This lady broke into another veterinary clinic to steal controlled drugs after she lost her DEA license. She beat herself up and claimed her husband did it, even stuck a needle into her chest to give herself a pneumothorax. The woman has been in and out of drug rehabilitation centers more times than one can count and the state licensing board still gives her a license. Why? Because they are afraid of a sex discrimination suit. Recently she cut a bladder open on a cat during a routine spay and did a poor job of suturing her error it resulted in the cat's demise. She has lost her DEA license again and has the drugs to anesthetize animals(duh!) yet the state board still lets her practice. I have little faith in the state boards when it comes to regulating minorities that are incompetant or are known to have serious drug dependency problems.
