Yes, i know what would have happened too! They seem to think that just cos they're paying they have a right! Will the docs open the door to you if you turn up on the door after they've closed???

In my opinion, thats the way a practice should be run - you tell a client to be here before a particular time - if they are not here at that time and no phonecall to say may be late etc - then tough - staff in this practice have a life as well as the client

The senior vet and I are good pals and I told her I am sooo glad she said that as the client was told when to be here and didnt bother turning up on time!

Hear hear! I totally agree!

Client's think they say jump and we ask how high.

Well said Claire So different from private practice though - I know what would have happened in private practice!!

I know too! it's so frustrating!

indeed, the cheek of some people

Some of our clients are sooooo rude it really is unbelievable I wouldnt be one bit afraid to tell them they are out of order though!!

I work with PDSA and we close our doors at 6pm - dog with prolapsed vagina in for repair prolapse and spay - hospitalised for 3 days and was due to go home today - owner told to be here before 6pm as doors close at 6pm sharp.

Senior vet finishing off fracture femur on a cat late on this evening, doors closed at 6pm - I was doing post op x-ray of cat, internal buzzer rings at 6.10pm - owner of prolapse dog - ACA (animal care asst) comes through to x-ray to say dogs owner here - senior vets says, no, sorry, they were told to be here before 6pm, tell them to come back in morning to pick dog up

I had a client at work the other day, came to pick her cat up and I was sitting in my consult room doing paperwork and the receptionist said yes I'll get Claire to take you through

and before the receptionist had got off her chair the client had burst through my CLOSED consulting room door!

Last time she was in, we were PTS'ing our receptionists kitten with FIP....door closed and she just barged in the room! I was furious

haha it's funny how satisfying they are. I made a comment about them around a non-medical friend who looked at me like I was insane

[/quote]

quite a lot of my nurse appts this week were on the waiting list for things like, 'paw', 'sore paw', 'nails', 'lame' - all of those were as a result of ingrown dew claws.

I had one earlier today and the lady proudly informed me, 'the man down the road who knows all about dogs gave me stuff to bathe the paw, but is hasnt helped, cannot think why, as he is a breeder and knows all about dogs'...................

I then examined the dogs paw, less than a second later, saw a horribly ingrown dew claw, so then I said to her, 'and this breeder guy knows everything about dogs then? Mmmm...... didnt know as much as he thought he did then.....if he did, then surely he would have noticed your dog has an ingrown dew claw and no amount of bathing will cure that, needs clipped, which I have just done for you. I suggest you take your advice from those who know in the future!'

Client left the practice with a very dim view of said dog breeder after that !

Breeders and dog groomers

I wasn't aware they also equated to a veterinary qualification

aw thanks Claire

Today has been a much better day! Nurse consults most of the day, I clipped dew claws of a border collie and I have never seen anything as bad in my life so ingrown that it took quite a pull to remove the bits I had cut from the pad, poor dog was completely matted around her back end with lots of faeces stuck to the hair so I enjoyed shaving that all off!!

As well as a lovely cheesy abscess on the face of a cat - my favourite 2 jobs today!

Pleased you had a better day!!

OOH Abscess, I'm jealous!

I had a great nurse consult. Owner's had been coming 2 see both vets to learn to express bladder and couldn't manage at all but managed after seeing me. I was really proud of them.

Ended up debating for ages with my boss and receptionist about outfits for our Xmas do on Sunday.

Seeingg my boy tomorrow and decided last night that I'd throw him a suprise party next Saturday....talk about short notice. Fingers crossed it goes to plan hehe

I have had a really bad day also. In fact, my worst day in a really long time. Crying outbursts most of the day, took almost 2 hrs to get home as rta on motorway - 5 cars involved, spent most of the evening in bed, had to get ex to keep boys for a few hours, dog tired, really emotional and cannot sleep

at least tomorrow is friday
