I had a case where I made a mistake in my diagnosis. How do you handle these situations?

First off, I'm sorry that happened. I've been there and it's incredibly stressful! The first thing to do is not make it about you. Apologize for your mistake, then do everything you can to make it right with the patient & their people. That's all you can do!

I agree with the above, apologize, make it right, and move on. It's tough but we have all been there. Sorry, it happened.

I would be completely honest with the pet owner. Owners treat their pets like family members and they have all the right to know. Just make sure to do something about it with the best that you can.

Be transparent. Contact them and let them know that you made a mistake and explain the new diagnosis

Is it wrong to keep your screen active (for IM) but cut out of work early (4pm) to go to the gym? I typically come back and put in another hour or so but feel guilty that it’s done in a shady manner. BTW I’m not at a company/role that demands 60 hour work weeks (lol f that)

I need help. I think I’m being underpaid at my job I’ve been at for 3 1/2 years. I’m a full time receptionist for a veterinary hospital but I also manage the reception area (I answer all questions and if someone makes a mistake I’m the one the fix it) and am an in house trained veterinary assistant but can do a techs job (unlicensed) and I do help the technicians out anytime they need and I’m only getting paid $13 an hour while a crew member at arbys gets paid $15 . What should I do ?
