Ok. But none of those excuse unprofessional behavior. Period.
There really aren't "both sides" to this: nobody should be "making fun of" a colleague. Doesn't matter if that colleague is a jerk. There are more appropriate ways to handle that.
I practically never place catheters or give injections. Like, almost never. Why on earth would I be as good at it as my techs who do it a couple dozen times per day? That is nonsensical.
I didn't say it excused anything. And I wasn't justifying the behavior, but I do understand that a doctor incapable of giving an IV injection adds to the animal's stress. And while you may practically never give injections, our doctors were expected to on a daily basis. That may be a practice issue that should have been changed, but that was the expectation.
