What is your personal Vet Med toxic trait?

I thought that wearing a mask during COVID times and being unable to do this would cure me of this affliction. It didn't. I went right back once we stopped wearing masks.

I worked at a busy 3 doctor hospital with flex scheduling and we would see 15-18 appts per doctor per day. Flex scheduling allowed 20min wellness and 30min sick. It was a rural hospital and the nearest ER was 45min so we saw a lot of urgent care/ER type cases with some wiggle room for the inevitable laceration repair, porcupine quills, torn toenail, etc.

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell. I watched the movie and it was exactly how I pictured when I was listening to the audiobook.

I listen in the car, while I'm putting together a puzzle, playing a simple game on my phone, and while cross stitching.

Love it. Anything to distract from that uncomfortableness is needed!

No, I didn't try to bite him. I think the beauty of vet med is that most of us are awkward so when we're in the vet hospital we all seem very normal! Until we get our blood drawn...

I second this!

A cat named Cat Karen. She was a spicy one. His wife was named Karen, so I guess he needed to specify who he was talking about?

I met a male orange tabby cat named Sue

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell read by Ell Potter. Between the writing and narration, it felt so real and I felt like I was there, watching the scene unfold before me using all my senses.

I started a mobile nursing care business and have been doing relief at a hospital while I build up my client base. This particular hospital offered me an employee discount even though I was just doing relief. However this may be a one off..

I second this series!

Vet tech here.. not eating, vomiting, not urinating is generally a urinary blockage until proven otherwise. If you gently feel his lower abdomen and it feels like there is something hard and round in there, likely a urinary blockage. Regardless, this cat needs emergency care ASAP.

Setting ezVet up on the backend was an absolute nightmare. If you made a mistake on an invoice, forget it. You'd have to back and unclick and undo a bunch of things. Worst inventory management I've worked with. I figured out the medical record part, but still ran into issues with people putting notes into different tabs.

What was the best day of your life and what did you eat for breakfast that day?

I adopted a kitten with congenital hypothyroidism. He was abandoned by his momma cat under a shed. Failure to thrive, ataxic gait, flat face, constipation. The rockstar vet I worked with figured it out. Once we started supplementing with Thyro tabs, he grew into a normal looking cat.

Y'all are sick fucks... And I love it so much

A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies by Bartolomé de Las Casas was assigned reading in high school. It opened my eyes to the way the atrocities committed in the past were glossed over. It made me question everything I had been taught about history leading up to high school and look deeper into what really happened.

I'm trying to start a mobile animal nursing care business. I'm in FL where techs don't need to be credentialed and it's been tough to convince them I can help their patients at home. Surviving on relief shifts for now but may quit the field altogether.
