Jack Wolfson addresses the Texas Vet Board at the October 2007 meeting
Jack Wolfson, a Grand
Prairie resident, has had the unfortunate experience of the Texas Vet
Board dismissing THREE different malpractice complaints over the years.
Jack traveled to Austin and addressed the Board again in October 2007,
along with Greg
& Cindy Munson, Julie
Catalano, and Betty
Garrity, other Texas pet
guardians who have had their malpractice complaints dismissed. The
following below the pictures is the text of Jack's speech to the Board:

Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners
333 Guadalupe St.
Austin, TX
There are excellent veterinarians in Texas. I have personally had 4 great veterinarians treat my dogs since 1971. There are O.K. veterinarians in Texas. These latter caring individuals at least are honest and have good treatment for our animals. I would say that approximately 10% of Texas veterinarians are extraordinary, 85% are average but are dedicated.
That leaves 5% who are KILLERS of our most precious beings, our critters. 95% of them are dishonest. Example includes Joel Nelson of Grand Prairie, Gary Thayer of Southlake, and Kathryn Wells of Dallas.
Recently O.J. Simpson was finally judged to be a liar, thief and a killer. But his 1st jury in 1995 found him innocent.
Tamarah in 1997 died from pneumonia that was not diagnosed until he got to A & M Veterinary College. Thayer said he had cancer. The autopsy showed NO cancer. The professor said he had had the worst case of pneumonia for 3 weeks and could have been easily saved with the proper antibiotic!
Yet the board said Thayer did nothing wrong!!
In 2001 Sable died from Cushing’s Syndrome and had 4 times the amount of cortisol in her body, yet even though Joel Nelson did not send the ACTH test off till one day after she had died and had her as a patient for over 1 year, yet the board said Nelson did nothing wrong!
In 2001 Calypso died from a punctured lung and consequent lung collapse. She was in for removal of a quarter size growth of one liver lobe. Her X-Rays of her chest the day before surgery were normal. Yet, when she screamed for 2 days Kathryn Wells said she was going to die anyway & refused to do an autopsy! Wells card said “referral Clinic” for “neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery and soft tissue surgeon”, She flunked the board surgery test TWICE!
If you the board members would NOW bring these vets up for a hearing with me able to ask questions you will get to the truth. What do you have to lose other than your reputation as a public watcher of the interest of the pets and citizens of Texas?
I plan to change the Laws of Texas to include “INTRINSIC VALUE” instead of Market Value.
When I succeed and animals have the same value as humans then attorneys will be able to make $$ and will defend the helpless pets that are being killed by BAD Veterinarians.
You need to let reputable members truly judge where the BAD Vets need to be ousted from the system so no more pets will suffer.
The 4th most important benefactor will be the attorneys.
The 3rd most important benefactor will be the pet owners such as me.
The 2nd most important benefactor will be the pets.
The 1st most important benefactor will be the GOOD VETRINARIANS.
They will no longer have to worry about the BAD Veterinarians that bring all of us here today.
If “Tamarah”, Sable”, and “Calypso” had 2 legs instead of four, my attorney Phillip Gregory said I would be able to collect over $100,000 per human and have Malpractice against the MD’S.!

Jack Wolfson discusses the death of Katt at the hands of yet another BAD vet.
11/09/2009
I had "Katt" from May 2004 until March 8, 2008. She filled a void in my life that can not be replaced due to a lying, negligent, non-caring alternative veterinarian.
In 2003, this bad vet was brought up before the board for dispensing & practicing "Eastern" (alternative Homeopathic medicine without permission). She received a formal reprimand. You would think she had learned from that experience.
At the Tx. informal board meeting held on June 12, 2009, she again admitted that not only did she NOT have consent from me for any homeopathic medicine, but I NEVER signed ANY consent.
She lied on 14 occasions about, time, calling me, telling me about "Katt's" deteriorating condition for three days, not calling me for 18 hours after "Katt" died with NO ONE in the clinic. She said it was a blessing that I did not see her for the last 3 days. I told her that she did not have the right to keep me from my pet!
It became apparent at the June 12 board meeting that "Katt" should have been on IV'S to raise her temperature as well as flush her system from what ever was contributing to her toxic liver. BOTH veterinarians on the board - Janie Carpenter & the other vet. could NOT BELIEVE that she did not use fluids on Katt? ALL of her blood tests were good (other than her liver enzymes). She could have EAISLY BEEN SAVED by any GOOD vet!!
Mike Miller the chief investigator of the board admitted to me that he was sure that this vet would receive a much harsher sentence when I talked to him on November 3, 2009.
A friend of mine read the board order and said "Jack, she got away with MURDER"!
Poor "Katt" suffered a terrible useless death due to an incompetent BAD Veterinarian that should have her license revoked!
To this day 11/09/09 I was never sent the work up on "Katt", even though I paid for the tests!
I need Governor Perry to change the TX. Vet Board to clean up the 5% Killers of our beloved pets.
Sadly,
"KATT'S" Owner
