Ispwich Hospital, located in the UK, came up with a plan to help it recover from debt, offer its services to pets.

Ipswich Hospital is proposing to use its state-of-the-art radiotherapy equipment, which lies dormant at weekends, to treat family pets with cancer at special Saturday morning clinics.

Considering that pet ownership is on the rise, and that some pet owners are willing to spend more money caring for their pets than they do themselves, it might be a great way for US hospitals to escape the debt that Medicare and Medicaid imposes on them.

The BBC published an article on the same subject, reporting that a patients' advocacy group condemned the idea as "horrifying". Wow. Horrifying? Goes to show that there are still people in this world who hate dogs.
