We talk about the procedure to be performed and have a spot on the form for the owners to write down two possible complications of their pet's procedure at the end of our talk. I have even resorted to telling them there will be a test at the end of this so that maybe they will listen. AND STILL I just about ALWAYS have to just give them answers to fill in the blanks. *facepalm*drlittlepawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738107306614470561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-65089894754806584422012-01-11T14:53:45.206-08:002012-01-11T14:53:45.206-08:00I just feel that if the guy making my sandwich at ...I just feel that if the guy making my sandwich at Subway can have a sign that implores me to stay off my cell while giving my order, then I should not have to politely wait for a client to finish a phone conversation to be done with the appointment. I just go about my business without a word and send in the tech with details once it gets quiet. And food allergies? Oy vei! My favorite ones get fixed at the new, smarter vet with that miracle drug...prednisone!DrGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396566726511833051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-80895961339653243612012-01-11T08:00:39.736-08:002012-01-11T08:00:39.736-08:00I used to give out point by point instructions alo...I used to give out point by point instructions along with directions to websites that gave other information. I even translated those documents for English as second language people if I thought that they would understand them better. I highlighted when they needed to return, made charts for medication, everything.<br /><br />And I still found about 60% of those people called back to ask a question that I had not only answered, but I had written the answer down in the discharge instructions.SMHDVMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631495097000738780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-61967029309464339172012-01-10T11:43:34.282-08:002012-01-10T11:43:34.282-08:00Yea.... you say you want to work with test tubes i...Yea.... you say you want to work with test tubes in a very quiet laboratory. Till you start losing your kool aid because the reaction in the test tubes stops working all the sudden. <br />And as for speaking to only 2 people per day that don't listen? Wait until you have the same conversation with them every day because they did not listen. Then they want an explanation of why your test tubes are not working, and you don't know because they never really listened when you said you were having problems.<br />Oh. Then there are grants which pay for this...wonderful experience. <br />Pretty soon you just start talking to everything. I yell at my DNA. <br />ITS SO QUIET!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
