This is one of the most dangerous propositions in the field. It's touted as a way to relieve a shortage that they are fabricating. Should someone with 3 semesters of training be performing surgery? What vet will be comfortable putting their license on the line for this?

Woof, lots of feelings here. Yes, many private practices are being bought out and turned into corporate machines. But the veterinarians within them are still there to advocate for your pet. This broaches an important topic and makes it an attack, which it didn’t have to be.

Also insurance, which everything is affected by in human medicine, skews everyone’s perspective on cost.

There is some compartmentalization that occurs in vet med when it comes to euthanasia - I only teared up once yesterday despite performing 4 euthanasias. But when I am not ‘on duty,’ I’m okay with tears about the best boys. Because dogs are, truly, the best.

He’s been scratching for weeks but our vet couldn’t see us until next Thursday so we decided to come to the ER. #vettwitter

Your vet isn’t recommending sedation because they are lazy or scared or to make money. Vets get hurt at a rate of over 4x the rate of other professions. Not all of it is avoidable, but this? It’s easy. Follow instructions. Respect boundaries. Help us stay whole.

The entire movie simply does not work if this song isn’t as good as it is. So rare for a supposedly genius work of art in-story to actually be any good, but this is everything it should be and more.

This is so real. I'm a single adult who has friends - most of whom don't live in state. I have family in driving distance who work long, inconvenient hours. I have coworkers I like but am not going to ask to take PTO to pick me up from a sedated procedure. There has to be a way

Thanks for the support, everyone, really. I'll be ok. Sometimes it's just so hard feeling like you just can't keep up with it all. I'm trying. I really am. And I'll be ok eventually, just need to get through this bit

Update: I did cry. I cried and I wrote my notes. I composed myself and called a client to give them bad news. I cried some more and wrote more notes. Two hours later I cried as I looked at my stack of things left to be done. I'll probably cry again tomorrow.

We're closing for the evening soon and I'm just patiently waiting for everyone to leave so I can just start crying. If this isn't burn out, it's dangerously close.

Field trips shouldn’t stop after you graduate. I feel like if a bunch of buses pulled up to your job once every few weeks and your boss was like “we’re going to the planetarium and lunch is provided and your friends are all coming too” that would make life so so much better.
