Is there anything worse than having to work alongside an old school vet? They have some wisdom to share for sure, but their hesitance to use modern and proven treatments can be so frustrating.

I know people like this in every single industry. It's so frustrating. In our office, for example, one of our more senior directors refuses to use Zoom, so we have to come in for weekend meetings, apart from working in the office from Monday to Friday.

So if they're against modern technologies and treatment, how do they treat they're patients? I feel so bad for those little animals now!!!

Yes, there is something worse than having to work alongside an old school vet - having to work with someone who doesn't value your expertise or knowledge. It can be disheartening to put in hard work and dedication into a job, only for it not to be recognised by an experienced colleague who has been doing the job for years.

Many things worse, for sure, but at the job it's like... why are we doing this again if there are easier ways to do this?

I'm right there with you, friend. A doctor in our hospital retired recently, and his replacement is 30 years younger. Imagine my satisfaction when I noticed how easy and quick everything was now!

That hasn't been my experience so far, though maybe I've just been lucky. They have been almost as interested in learning abut new treatments from me as I have been to learn from their experience.

Any idea what is going on?

We have learned a lot about how to treat animals in the last 15 years. Before, we had to put pets to sleep for things today we only apply a lifelong treatment.

This “customer is always right” attitude is becoming a dealbreaker. I understand dogs biting out of fear or pain.
