This week we look at some of the mental stresses that your favourite veterinary professionals are under so you can get a better understanding of what it’s like to walk a few kms in their shoes.
This episode touches on some painful issues - like suicide.
[You don’t have to listen to those facts if you don’t want to. I’ll let you know before we get to those so you can stop listening at that point.]
We'll compare the cost of human medicine vs animal medicine.
You'll understand - hopefully - why all those veterinary tests are essential to animal care & welfare.
In this episode we'll talk about how stressful and hurtful it must be to hear day-in & day-out that veterinary professionals don’t care enough because they won’t work for free.
Compassion fatigue in veterinary medicine is a result of veterinary clinicians – doctors and nurses - taking on the emotional burden of the sad and bad things that happen to their animal patients.
It’s a form of mental trauma, resulting in the dulling of the ability to feel and care for others in their lives.
