Referring to the ER with Jennifer Merlo-Part 2

Referring to the ER with Jennifer Merlo-Part 1

For so many of us, it’s such a dreaded question—“What would you do if it was YOUR pet?” If you’re like us, you were probably told in school to never answer that question, or to dance around it as much as possible, but are we really helping our clients (or patients) if we avoid it? Listen to the DVM Divas as they share ways to handle the situation. Also, Ann shares an “HR” fail. Melissa has a “professional” win, and Maria reveals her hack for keeping clinic morale up during these stressful times!

Things We Didn't Learn In School

Since we’re living in a world that’s so very different than what we’re used to, we thought we’d record a little differently too! We opened-up the Zoom chat to our friends and listeners and had an open conversation about our current challenges. Joining the chat are Dr. Lindsey Bailey, Dr. Gary Marshall, Dr. Tannetje Crocker, and Dr. Samantha Cavender.

Special Update

New grads? Old grads? Gap grads? Join the DVMDivas as they dig into questions Melissa received while presenting to the Iowa State Veterinary School's Veterinary Business Management Association group a few weeks ago. The students had lots of questions about working with the "older" generation. While we decided we are NOWHERE near being the "older" generation--we did decide that we're *comfortably* in the "gap"--we're not old but we're definitely not new. This "gap" positioning gives us a unique perspective that we can all learn from! Then as we do, we round out the episode with Maria's win turned to a fail, Melissa has a hack we all may need here shortly and Ann has a surgery win that ties in relying on what you've learned.
