re: DVMs of the OB...career questions

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.
