Things To Do This Week ...

1. "The determining variable when setting fees is the veterinarian's attitude (an internal, psychological state) concerning his/her clients. Veterinarians who believe the veterinary service market is highly competitive charge fees that are low, earn the lowest net income, and work the greatest number of hours. Veterinarians who are inclined to see the market as less competitive charge higher fees, and experience the resulting benefits."
