  • Loved latest ep - clinical empathy

    Thanks for this episode. Ironically or not, this is what hospice and palliative care vets do on the daily. We have to weigh all the options. I am forever grateful for my veterinary education (Go gators) because I feel they set us up for success in this skill alone. From the beginning, we were taught to offer all the options, work with the family, and provide the care that they chose. It’s a conversation. I’ve found that more owners appreciate my openness my listening and honesty. I’ve treated a ... more

  • LOVE #186

    Shelter veterinarian and veterinary nurse advocate here. Our credentialed nurses/technicians are often unrecognized and devalued when veterinarians struggle to utilize their talent and training to its fullest potential. I hope standardization of the profession is prioritized by state regulatory authorities as advocates continue to demand a seat at the table. Great conversation. To my techs out there, you are irreplaceable and I am grateful for what you do.

Involving technicians in decision-making processes and discussions with clients can help mitigate the moral distress associated with performing futile treatments.
