Our new vet is a funny girl...updated March 27

I hope that culture comes back as something fairly easy to treat and things clear up quickly once they know which med to use.

I don't mind if some dr's/vets simplify things a bit, but sometimes I'd actually prefer they use at least a little medical 'jargon'.

Maybe it's because my old family doctor used to over simplify stuff and never actually tell you what was wrong with you, just would do his exam, and say 'we'll get you something to fix you up', then head for the door. It always bugged me he didn't say what was wrong with me, how he was going to treat it, names of meds, name of ailment etc. I'd always have to stop him before he left the room and get him to elaborate more. The doctor I have now is used to me so he does his simplified version first (probably out of habit) then remembers who he's talking to and goes a bit more in depth for me without me having to ask every time. lol

Muskwa, prayers for you from RI! Hoping it is easy to remedy and that you feel well fast.

I think I might like a vet I could understand!

Well at least she's putting it in terms you can understand!!

Techs are supposed to be the "translators" for clients.

That's probably how I'll be when I pass my boards and get a clinic job, lol.

Ha ha, that's awesome! Medical stuff is already serious enough, it's good to inject a little humor when you can.

My boyfriend's cousin has a bit of a temper and he put his hand through a locker and it actually says on his medical file "hand 0 locker 1".
