If they’d known what was coming they might have become vets. At least DVM’s retain autonomy over patient care.
Over the last ten to fifteen years I’ve noticed that animal health care has become a woman’s profession. Amazing how many women are now vets.
But not for long, if the eviroweenies, PETA, and the newly anointed IRS all need a new source of revenue!
I saw why What HWs and had a very hard choice to make. I could either sink in private practice and still be a quasi-.gov employee so I decided they had won and the fight was over. i quit my private practice and joined them.Only way to survive. i now work as a hospitalist for the hospital. I love medicine. I have to follow all the rules. Lean a new vocabulary and click the computer but at least they pay me to do this instead of me bearing the increased overhead that I could not do in semi-private practice. I actually get time off. I worked for 22 years and only took 2 weeks off. Now I work 7 days on 7 off yea they are 12 hour days but i am making over 2 times what I did in private practice. yes, i have a boss and yes I toe the line. and yes they could fire me but, it was the only way to survive. so they won.
