How often do you get idiots like this? I want to be a Vet Tech, but I'm not that good with people. I would totally lose patience with a moron like this.

@HipHopJun , Unfortunately, all too often. You DO have to have a lot of patience to work in the field. I think it helps to keep in mind that while you are there to treat a client's pet, you are also there to partially educate (as much as you can).

what were you making yearly at the end of your career as a VT?

[goshawkf]

@Koop89 Well, I'm STILL a veterinary technician. I'd rather not post my hourly rate though. Let's just say it's definitely enough to live on by myself, but not great if you want to buy a house.

Oh my goodness! What happened to the dog?

[goshawkf]

@Bccaundefined This wasn't an actual patient of mine. Just a conglomerate of many actual patient experiences!

I love it! "I'm a responsible owner!" LOL And yes, as a techinican, this happens ALL THE TIME! What's wrong with people!

The 1 person who disliked this video is the client. :)

@WolfSpirit023 And why am I an idiot? How about telling me what is wrong rather than being a jerkass you can elaborate?

[WolfSpirit023]

@RedneckYachtClubber Wow you're an idiot.

[WolfSpirit023]

@czerniana I have been working emergency and specialtly medicine for almost 8 years now, this is a VERY common thing. Now I'm studying to go into research.

@HipHopJun you must be a patient soul to be working around individual people.That the very first in any buisness with the public.

[czerniana]

randomly found this. I really am not looking forward to dealing with clients like this. lol. I'm a first year vet tech student seriously considering research at this point. haha. I'm not sure i could have bit my tongue long enough to not go off on her.

@shesamotherof12 5 birds, 4 of which rescued from people who couldn't take care of the beautiful animals.

[shesamotherof12]

@RedneckYachtClubber I hope you don't have pets.

[RBNightlinger]

Yup, this is the way many 'responsible pet owners' behave. I've been a groomer, a vet tech, and a trainer. Got burned out on all of them because of the idiocy I had to deal with every single day. More power to the ones who can stick with it.
