They will never change and there are many others who keep feeding them garbage for their own benefit.<br /><br />As one who desperately wanted to be a vet but was born before it was acceptable for women, I don't know how I would respond to the issues you bring up. I'm not fond of people in general and would probably lose my temper with the idiots, but I've had wonderful working relationships with a number of vets in my life and they have made life better for my animals and for me.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100381901254968075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264392333565933559.post-40437890576023706962014-03-14T23:14:08.716-05:002014-03-14T23:14:08.716-05:00Oooh I hear you.. as 1 vet to another I have also ...Oooh I hear you.. as 1 vet to another I have also been very saddened by the number of anti-vet internet propaganda out there at the moment :( We all do the best we can for your animals.. I also would not choose vet if I had my time again. Plenty of much higher paying less stressful professions out there, that dont involve working weekends, public holidays and after hours!

That's all there is to it! ...People are wackos. That's all there is to it! If you read Dr Grumpy's blog , you see how many crazy people there are. You know what is scarier , those people have kids and treat them the same. I spent the whole week trying to get the parent to take the kid to the doctor because his hand looked broken . Happened at home on the weekend. What is wrong with people. Another kid had come to me saying his arm had been hurting for 3 weeks. He had a non-movable lump on his arm. ( I'm thinking cancer). Couldn't reach mom but got grandma and had to tell her they had to take him to the doctor. That this was serious. ( I couldn't tell her I thought it could be cancer) I told her she had till tomorrow to get it done. Sad part was, he had cancer. Even sadder that he had been complaining for 3 weeks and the school nurse has to call you and make you take him to the doctor. ( yes they had insurance)<br /><br />It's just depressing. And then parents come in and complain , yell at me and report me for stupid crap. Depressing.

When I worked in animal welfare I met quite a few vets who gave so much of their valuable time and resources. I am so grateful there are people like yourself who are willing to spend the time and money studying and then again to give up so much in order to keep our animals healthy as long as possible. Thank you for caring and for dedicating your life to this emotionally exhausting, and too often thankless, work.Kristinehttp://rescuedinsanity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264392333565933559.post-28239883090292088702014-03-14T12:25:29.001-05:002014-03-14T12:25:29.001-05:00Please know how much you and others in your profes...Please know how much you and others in your profession are appreciated. I am eternally grateful for my all my vets' help over the years and especially so on the final day when there just isn't anything else they can do except prevent suffering.Melinda Wichmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356338603285128469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264392333565933559.post-21805206356740053752014-03-14T07:21:54.651-05:002014-03-14T07:21:54.651-05:00I dont think people realize how hard it is to get ...I dont think people realize how hard it is to get into a veterinary school. That many who don't make the cut go into human medicine! That speaks volumes to me.
