Just Vet School Things

Me at every veterinary conference:

When you see a bizarre appointment on the schedule, and you low-key stress all day about it, but then they cancel at the last minute:

When the owner claims they gave the trazodone/gabapentin as directed, but their pet is still trying to eat my face:

When a client rushes their pet in as an emergency and then asks for a nail trim:

When you use every feline-friendly technique you can, and your cat patient still tries to eat you:

Me, talking to all my patients with diarrhea:

When you’re mad at clients for not showing up to their appointments, but happy that it gives you more time for other stuff:

When someone says that they “adopted” the doodle mix they purchased from a backyard breeder for $2500:

When clients listen to 0% of your recommendations and then bring their pet back for a recheck when it hasn’t improved:

When the person who replaced you at your last job is quitting after barely a year:

Me, reviewing vet school interviews:

When someone tries to speak to me while I have my stethoscope in my ears:

Whenever I get a bad review online:

When yet another Bella comes into the clinic:

Whenever I see a euthanasia on my schedule:

When the 20 minute “wellness” appointment turns into a “check skin/limping/coughing/diarrhea” appointment:
