I get “job offers” every day. They’re all from corporate conglomerates.

Nobody wants to acknowledge the roots of the veterinary shortage.

Veterinarians are missing from the workforce because they were literally driven to suicide. The pandemic just made a preexisting crisis worse. The venture-capitalization of medicine creates victims out of doctors and patients.

If anyone contacts me trying to recruit for Mars I send them an invoice for my time.

We’ve lost 3 vets in 11 days to suicide and my vet-socials are filled with grief and heartbreak. If I hear anyone vet bashing (like the unsuspecting dog walker I met on the common), I will come down on you like a ton of bricks, in their name. 💔💔#dobetter #bekind #notonemorevet

Thinking about the Shame in Medicine: The Lost Forest podcast https://www.thenocturnists-shame.org/

It's been really helpful in untangling my feelings about #VeterinaryMedicine. So much of (me) being a doctor is striving for perfection or at least to be a "good doctor" by every measure, and coming up short in my own mind. And it's that perspective that harms me.
