We have such different lives but I can totally relate to your frustration with the politics of things. I know its hard but don't let other peoples perversion of the profession crush your dreams to be great in it. <br />http://www.thesecretivepilotswife.blogspot.com-SPWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575436442796251851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933637578314436528.post-36050141118642884052010-02-24T11:51:06.219-06:002010-02-24T11:51:06.219-06:00Now you see why I couldn't WAIT to get out of ...Now you see why I couldn't WAIT to get out of academia...

And I know for a fact that I will still have to deal with similar things in medicine, but at least I'll have the OPTION of opening my own practice (not an option in my previous field). Don't give up yet, even if you don't want your own practice -- there are places out there that are a lot better than your current practice sounds, and you might have to job hop for awhile but you'll find one. Maybe do relief work to test drive some new practices?Life in vet schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03280988301038450938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933637578314436528.post-78845625369503849572010-01-21T08:01:39.861-06:002010-01-21T08:01:39.861-06:00Maybe you should consider opening your own private...Maybe you should consider opening your own private practice - whether small or large animal. Even if you have to take a partner to defray expenses, that way you could run things the way you want.<br /><br />Believe me, there are vets out there who aren't like you described. I have one. (I'm not a vet.) My dog broke her leg and the emergency vet place wanted to do $4500 surgery with pins and rods. I took her to my vet who put her in a cast and her leg healed itself. She's as good as new today, nearly a year later.<br /><br />So take heart, because like one of the other posters said, there are politics in every profession. The ONLY way to escape them is to become self-employed.KarenWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933637578314436528.post-38492368073892901722010-01-21T07:51:20.138-06:002010-01-21T07:51:20.138-06:00You're kidding, right?You're kidding, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933637578314436528.post-11127791021488466132010-01-21T05:41:48.118-06:002010-01-21T05:41:48.118-06:00There's politics everywhere you go - i think p...There's politics everywhere you go - i think people are just getting more and more egotistic and selfish - is it because of the recession? or maybe i notice it as i get older and more mature.
