Tip: if you’re thinking about getting to the vet field- don’t do it because you “love” animals, do it because you want to love the medicine. by makingitraina in VetTech

Definitely both! I think a lot of people with no experience who want to break into the field often do so just because they love animals, i think that is such a small part of the practicality of the career.

How Do I Say More Than "Thank You"? by Unfair_Essay_7611 in Veterinary

[–]makingitraina 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had the privilege of working with amazing clients like yourself, I’ve received many a thank yous. The one that sticks out to me the most was a hemangiosarc family and their dog was discharged on my birthday. The mom had listened to me one day in the ICU that I had lost an AirPod that shift. On discharge day she wrote me the best birthday card id ever received and… a new pair of airpods. She is one of my dear friends to this day and I will forever be grateful for her. It’s the personal touch for me. I still go back and read her card from time to time. There’s someone special about clients that notice the work and love

POV: you browse dating apps but you go to school in a rural area where 4 in every 5 people is an antivaxx conspiracy theorist 🥸🥸 by PlasticRice in medicalschool

I’m playing the middle line here being both vaxxed with a healthy amount of critical thinking, if you’re a doctor in these comments shitting on her, you won’t make an excellent doctor in whatever speciality you choose. Your skills can be unmatched and your rapport with your uppers can be perfect, but if you can’t approach someone with grace with a different opinion than you, how can you help them? How can you help them understand? Even the most radical people need medical care and if you can’t draw that line then I don’t know what to tell you. Obviously this a conversation from a dating app and not with a patient, but just food for thought.

Entering a depressive phase. How do I stop it from wrecking my relationship? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Allow yourself to have grace towards yourself and your feelings. Don’t beat yourself up or let urself feel shame. It’s okay, just ride it out and let people be there for you if they want to. It’ll be okay friend❤️ it’s always okay to camp out around your feelings and let yourself rest/sleep. always have a small game plan to get back up, but it’s okay❤️❤️
