Is the vet profession, changing for the worse
Probably something, I could have PM Dr Doug about, but thought I would throw it out there. I am a Chiropractor, I recently had the opportunity to treat a young Vet Doc. Her practice experience almost made me cry.
She seems to me, to be a very nice young women (Doc), who truly loves animals, and went into Vet practice for that reason.
She tells me, because of her student loan debt, and because Vet corporations, will outbid her on any practice, she and other young vets would attempt to buy, it is almost impossible for her to have her own practice.
The worst part was, she stated these corporation practices push unnecessary, procedures etc. Making her very uncomfortable.
But what really got me was she stated the amount of verbal abuse she was subjected to every day, from pet owners.
Is this common Dr Doug? Has the world changed so much that now it is deemed acceptable to verbally assault Vet Doc's?.
These stories, she told me, I would throw them (the patients) out on their ear, but she states, in these corporate practices, it is all about the bottom line, And these young new associate Vets are expected to take this kind of abuse and keep smiling.
Is this the new norm?
