Missed the point mate.
The combination of pressures is the stressor in this particular, individual case. The article cites a study which found the suicide rate among vets to be a significant multiple of the baseline populations rate. The factors that are common to vets are high emotionalal stress, caring fatigue, financial stress, time pressure and a workplace that normalises death as a means to an end of suffering and crucially, have access to restricted euthanasia drugs.
- perl4ever 8y agoIf the point of the article is that vets have access to euthanasia drugs, then I don't disagree, but I don't think it's worth writing - are we going to change that somehow, as a society? And, the article could have focused on how to control access to dangerous drugs, if that was its point.
