It is a good soapbox to stand on and I’m interested in listening to you speak from it.Indeed. It is also time for veterinary medicine to transition as a whole to the veterinarian being part of the team of people who devote themselves to an animal's care rather than the end all authority delivering unquestioned pronouncements from on high. But that's another soapbox entirely.
I live in a fairly rural part of the northeast and I mostly deal with vets who are parts of small owner operated practices. I have had to deal with large corporate veterinary practices for specialized care (having giant breed dogs,it’s part of the deal). I love our vets and we get very good care that is given with great love and care from the doctors and their whole team. But I also understand the tremendous toll that this model takes on the people working in it.
