The Life of Meaning: A Model of the Positive Contributions to Well-Being from Veterinary Work
A review of known sources of satisfaction for veterinarians finds them to be based mostly in meaningful purpose, relationships, and personal growth. This positions veterinary well-being within the tradition of eudaimonia, an ancient concept of achieving one's best possible self, and a term increasingly employed to describe well-being derived from living a life that is engaging, meaningful, and deeply fulfilling.

The Evolution Of Rabbit Dentition: Why Rabbits Lose Their Deciduous Teeth Shortly After Birth

Am I the only one?
I feel like a good portion of the cases I send over end up being something different from my reason for sending them. I am starting to feel very self conscious and nervous when I call to speak to a doctor about a case I am sending over.

During the rest of the week I feel like I do a great job and (knock on wood) have been really great about catching things and making the right diagnosis. I try to tell myself that its because I am alone and overbooked and it's better to send things than to sit on them. I'm just curious to know how the referral doctors feel. Are they dreading every time they hear it's me on the phone with a referral?
