Some people are simply absolutely ridiculous and you can't do anything about it and really will learn to roll your eyes and move on eventually, promise. Most people blow over pretty fast.
Ugh I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I know it's hard but try to remember that you didn't actually commit malpractice here. Sh*tty clients/people have a knack for making you feel inadequate, even though you've proven time and time again to be a fantastic doctor. I wish I had more to say to help you with what you're feeling.
I'm debating if I should just wait it out for a bit longer, send her an email now, or what.
I’d email, personally but it’s up to youNot really a rant for me, but: I'm currently waiting for an interview call from one of the internships I applied to. It was scheduled for 20 minutes ago. I'm completely understanding that things come up for doctors, but holy cow is my anxiety exponentially growing right now
I waited until 30 minutes passed and sent an email. I've been up for hours preparing
At least when the call actually does end up happening, I'll be ready.
Yeah ... this stuff happens in human medicine, too.
Your words help, thank you. I'm pretty much past all the initial feels and I'm just kinda left with being alarmed/annoyed to realize how fragile my happiness/mental state truly is LOL.
Yeah I HATE that most of my emotion was related to fear of this happening and having my "good name ruined" or whatever only a few months out. Like why should we have to have that in the back of our minds during every single client interaction? We shouldn't.
Thank you, I appreciate you.
I lost a patient under anesthesia just a bit ago and wasn't right for a freaking week. We are doctors and we do this because we care - it isn't a bad thing. Just gotta work on our mental armor a bit for our own sanity. 😉
Owner cites Google, really meant the comment section on a shady breeder/pet group page.
There's a guy on a local rescue page who recommends crazy **** for everything. He's convinced colloidal silver cures parvo, he meets up with people IRL to give them "medicine" for their dogs, wants everybody to feed their dogs garlic and onions and essential oils or whatever. Somebody reported him for practicing veterinary medicine without a license and he's been pitching a huge fit/witch hunt all over the page.
JESUS CHRIST NO
Hopefully it's acted on by authorities. It's honestly insane what people do. And even more insane what people recommend to sick people, especially those diagnosed with cancer. I've seen it so many times. 'You probably don't actually have cancer/diabetes/x, it's just a money grab.' 'Marijuana saved my friend with incurable cancer, don't ever do chemo!' 'Eat avocado!'
Our officers once had to go out on a welfare check for a dog with a bad skin condition. They gave her a citation to obtain veterinary care and when they went back to follow up and ask her what she had done, she said she hadn't saved up enough burned motor oil to put on the dog yet. She then told them that a vet had definitely recommended that treatment to her and was mad when they told her actual doctors don't recommend that. I believe she said she was going to go to the news about us because we obviously didn't know anything about good medical advice lol. Yikes
I've had a woman absolutely insist that her veterinarian only recommends and uses garlic as flea prevention, even on the vet's own dogs. She was adamant. Now I know there are 'holistic' vets out there that push EOs and whatnot, but I've honestly not yet come across any vet that actually pushes garlic/onion for flea control. I've seen firsthand that it just doesn't work (real quote: 'Oh, it just keeps the fleas from biting my dog, it doesn't actually keep them off my dog'), not to mention the awful gas those dogs must be shooting out of both ends
This is basically what I tell people too lol. "I guess if you're hoping the fleas won't find enough blood in your dog for it to be worth their time...?"
WHAT
Ohohoooo you have not heard even a tenth of the things I have encountered in this town lol
There needs to be a book! '**** pet owners say.' Although it wouldn't help with the issue of distrusting vets.
Unfortunately my mother is client C. She thinks she can cure everything at home. We have fun conversations about this a lot.
I am so sorry for your loss mixy. Will be thinking about you
I’m so sorry mixy<3
I'm so sorry mixy 🙁
Well, still haven't heard back. I'm hoping it's because the interviewer was off for the holidays and not that she never intends to interview me for whatever reason. I just find it odd that an interview scheduled less than 48 hours prior would be forgotten about, or that she wouldn't at least have emailed me back at some point that day letting me know something came up 😕I waited until 30 minutes passed and sent an email. I've been up for hours preparing
@MixedAnimals77 very sorry your horse passed away ... sending lots of kind and comforting thoughts your way.
turbo tax. Your situation doesn't sound too complicated, it should be fine, and there is a free version.
Taxes are my jam! Yes claim deductions! Basically turbo tax. Federal tax you file for free, but if you pay income tax in your state, I believe DE is one, you have to pay to file your state tax. If you really don't want to do it yourself or it's too complicated you can go to a service like H&R block. Honestly doing it yourself is better though. Lmk if you have specific questions
Everything alright?
No I have lots of feelings about other people’s feelings.
Sorry dolph <3
Only vouch without being seer I'll ever get 😉
