There is always a generation gap between old and young
vets. However some young vets have this confidence to communicate with
older vets and that is good for them. Young vets who naturally want to
group around with their peers and age group. This is commonly seen.
On Jan 13, 2011, I visited two competitor vet practices. It was great
that the two younger vets I met were good at communication. One was
clean shaven in his head. "Are you helping 'Hair for Hope -
Singapore'?" I asked him to be bald to raise fund for the Children's
Cancer Foundation? I had not seen a young vet bald in Singapore and he
was the first one.
The second vet has 9 years of experience and was excellent at
communications. First class, I would say. She offered me a cup of
coffee as she could get rid of me after some conversation. She shared
some interesting cases of pyometra (photo with yellowish disc in a
spleen of a dog with pyometra - splenic abscesses?). She showed me an
X-ray of a dog with a 20-cent coin in the stomach in which the
endoscope of a referred vet was ineffective. It still needed
gastrotomy after endoscope failure. "Is an endoscope so expensive?" I
asked her when she mentioned $100,000 for one. I do not think it would
cost that much unless it is for racehorses.
I learnt a few veterinary communications and related matters from her
and the other competitor. It is good to see other practices in
Singapore and in other countries to upgrade oneself and know the
industry's best practices as no one vet can have all the vet knowledge
in this world. |
