I was laughed and mocked by my elder brother's wife that "帶龜看醫生? 傻仔! The turle is only 幾十元."
I explained that it was because I respect life, even it was only 幾十元. Life is not measured/ valued by that way. You can use the money spent in vet to buy many many turles, but they will never be the same as the one you have before. As a responsible host, I only did what I should do.
She didn't even know that there is vet for turtle. (?!) She said turtles won't suffer illness and will never feel sick. "How you know that it had skin diseases? What? The turle got a cold? Impossible. Not eating suddenly for a week? It is normal. "
