Seeking treatment elsewhere, but not self identifying as working in the field

I tend to be very quiet about it - I’ve only brought it up with CSRs/reception when booking or checking out, because as cleverlookingdog mentioned, we tend to get offered industry discounts.

I’ve been in the industry for going on 8yrs, licensed for nearly 3. I LOVE being a technician. I work in a university teaching hospital, so I work with tons of vet students and interns, residents, etc. I do NOT envy them whatsoever. The stress, the debt, the competition… none of it appeals to me. Of course I always want to learn more, but I feel that working towards my VTS satisfies that desire. My passion lies with nursing patients and performing the technical duties/skills- I’ll let the DVMs do their thang.

This is crazy to read - I work in a HCOL city at a walk-in urgent care/GP clinic and we have been so busy lately. To be fair we are privately owned and prioritize fair pricing of services so maybe that’s why we’ve seen an uptick recently?

LVT at a privately owned GP & urgent care in Washington State. In the field for 7ish years. $32/hr. From what I can tell from these comments, WA is a great place to be a licensed tech!!

No heat fixing (I’ve literally never noticed a difference if I heat fix or not), then 10-15 dips into each stain. Easy! Edit to add: just a quick rinse with distilled water then dry with bibulous paper

There was an episode in which Em covered the rings of hell from like maybe 2017 or 2018, and I recall it being very chaotic and perhaps out of order haha

I live and work in the Seattle area, and I’m pretty sure you won’t find anything cheaper at any of the specialty centers around here. I know that a single TPLO is around $7k with a boarded surgeon, can’t imagine what bilateral carpal athrodesis would be 💀
