Married to a current vet and you’re right. The clients are the worst. People are shit.
Suicide is a huge problem in the field. My wife’s class of slightly over 100 has had two suicides.
- whartung 2y agoThat's just a shame. We love our vet. Utmost respect for him and his folks. He's been with us through some of the worst times. We've had him for 20 years. We're 50 miles away, and still take the cats to him (unless it's particularly urgent). VCA (or whoeever) has been nipping on his heels. He may take the offer and move out closer to us and open a new shop. I know he's considering it. After he bought his practice from the original vet, that vet went out and opened another practice also years ago.
