EQUINE I Life balanceHow saying thank youcan transform your life in equine practice

摘要

There are days when home is not on the range. When driving your truck from farm to farm, from barn to barn, from house to house does not bring a James Herriot-like glow to your equine veterinarian cheeks.On days like that, you might get to thinking about the fact that you don't make as much (especially if you're anew practitioner) as some high-flying urban or suburban small animal veterinarians. Your exhausted mind might start rolling around the reality of your 60-hour-plus workweek; much of it spent driving between horses. Or maybe you start floating your own teeth with a grinding-like motion because a horse owner or a boss asked you to do something thatdoesn't sit well with you, like using drugs to rev up a race horse or calm down a show horse.
