[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left work today and I do not want to go back. It is not just this area. It is the entire profession. We are being abused. I don't want to do it anymore. I am only 50 years old. I need a job for the next twenty years that will not kill me before I kill myself. [/quote]
Are you a vet or a tech? 
What do you see as the main contributor of abuse, employer or clients? What is something that you might be struggling with now? Would a change in practices help?

Can you work for a lab, food company,  or FDA?

Who will  end up being veterinarians? What will have to happen to fix the industry?[/quote]

I am a vet. And I am tired. Underappreciated. Underpaid. Abused by clients. Being squeezed by management. I cannot do it anymore.

We are not letting clients in yet as we decide on best policies going forward. Clients are complaining left and right. I have staff quitting. Don't have enought help. Management wants me to see more appointments with less help and less time. Awesome. I got three calls today for emergencies from patients of other practices. They have a primary care doctor. But they don't have space so they want me to fit them in. I. Am. Done. [/quote]

Do you find that most of your clientele are appreciative but the smaller subset of awful seems exponentially worse. And by management,  do you mean this practice is corporate and not privately owned, or privately owned by a vet who might be unreasonable?  I wonder which is better now,  to keep  private business,  which  does come with its own headaches, or work  for a company. I am not  even sure  which is  best from a client standpoint.

I straddle  the time period of the neighborhood veterinary practice, owned by one person, almost always male, to now, a corporate owned entity with young women vets coming and going, but, of course  now with state of the art  technology,  referrals  to specialists, etc. [/quote]
