She wears a damn apple watch. But that's a great idea.
I actually kind of just became aware of it. I used to date a different vet and she opened her own practice. Seems that she quit practicing for a while when she wasn't able to save her own dog. I believe she is back at it, but she quit for a short time.
That was pretty shocking. I guess it's more taking than I would have ever imagined.

I know very little about these. Do they require you to tap them? The way I try to monitor my timing that wouldn't work for me.
Is she prone to losing pens? If not a really nice pen could be a good start esp if she is in a practice with all paper or half paper records. So. Many. Records you have to write.
I'm glad you're aware of it at least. Fact is that the profession is filled with type A people - perfectionists prone to beating themselves up over the smallest mistakes. Add in that they're working on beings who can't talk or do anything about their own situation and are at the mercy of their owners which can be a really bad thing. Not uncommon for a vet to be verbally abused or accused of all sorts of things which many dwell on. After all that you pile on the fact that most are in what seems like a hopeless pit of debt. You have the perfect recipe for all sorts of mental issues and unfortunately suicide. Some folks just can't disconnect from their work/patients.

When I graduated a relative gave me a nice stethoscope with my name engraved on it. Your only talking about $200 bucks here. Left the damn thing in a rental car but had it 6 years. You use it all day every day. Try not to wear nice things at work cause they get all manner of nasty things on them. Even switched to a silicone ring after losing my wedding ring in a surgery glove.
As for Bapples thoughts, they are valid but honestly I do what I do cause I love it. Yes the debt is crazy and most days I try not to think about it but it is what it is. Only human medicine I could practice is pediatrics because I'd have trouble dealing with some of the stupid shite adults do. Either way I don't think any job is perfect and there are days I hate mine but most of the time I am excited about work. The job is what you make of it. People can be complete assholes but overall you are helping a lot of animals and most clients are grateful.
