Vet frustrations

I love our regular vet and think the world of him. He is easy to talk to and answers questions and concerns as if I am the only person that needs his attention at the time.
Today, however, I went in to take Honey’s for their 6 week shots and he was in a surgery and had a vet in that “travels” between clinics in our area to help out when needed. This fill-in would not give the pups their shots because the computer said they weren’t 6 weeks old. I was there when they were born, have taken them in at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and now 6 weeks and she would not believe me over the computer. She had a different schedule that she liked to give shots and things on rather than the one my regular vet said and I had to abide by her schedule rather than his. Well, needless to say, I came away very frustrated! How can you believe a computer above a person?
My first response was that I would never go back, but then I remembered how wonderful my regular vet is and how helpful and caring his staff are and I changed my reaction a little. I will just not go in whenever this vet is there and make sure I see my regular vet that I have confidence in and at least knows me well enough to know that I know when my puppies were born!
Am I the only one that has had this experience? I would love to see some comments to know that I am not alone….
