Reasons Why Veterinarians are Useless without Veterinary Technicians

  • This video is dedicated to all of the veterinary technicians out there! Without them, vet hospitals would not be able to function!
    To all the pet owners that watch this video, make sure you are nice to the vet techs at the hospitals/clinics you go to! Veterinary medicine would not be a thing if it wasn’t for all of the hard work done by the technicians. While us veterinarians are running around, talking to owners, doing procedures, and handling the paperwork, the vet techs are the real soldiers in the trenches. They are the ones running the tests, giving the medications, and sitting with and taking care of your sick pets when they are in the hospital. At least in the ER hospitals, the vet techs are the ones that spend the most time with your pets, and do the most for them.
    And I also wanna give a special shout out to the real Technician Tom for being the best technician, and our true Pumpkin Spice Warrior!

    I am a veterinarian technician (even though I DRASTICALLY changed career direction), and this is the first time I've seen someone acknowledge our existence. Thanks

      As a pharmacy tech, I understand. Thank you for taking care of my furbabies, even though THEY probably don’t appreciate it. You’re doin good work❤

      Amen! Same here! I was a tech for ten years. No living wage, no benefits, no appreciation! We were also actively abused regularly.

      Do not ask the doctors to take blood LMAO. Techs do it more often, so they have more practice and are better at it. I even know a doctor who isn't comfortable taking blood because she hasn't done it since she was in school.

      I’ve found through very difficult times, more than once, that nurses are the most valuable, knowledgeable and helpful to patients and their families. They really know what’s up with the patients and give wonderful advice and help.

  • @jfxl1977

    I think this is the case for ALL of the medical technician positions for animals or people. The support staff for the doctors is really the heart of all medicine.

      @jasmirris 2 месяца назад +1

      As a patient, I agree. I had a doctor think he could take my blood and it squirted all over. He then decided to laugh exclaiming he had a squirter over here. *facepalm * They had phlebotimists at that office so there were no excuses, he was just a jerk.

    I was an OTJ trained unlicensed tech for 5 years. This is painfully accurate, especially the cath tape and stethoscope bits. The person who trained me literally told me "don't follow the doctors. They don't know what they're doing or where they're going" 😅😂

    I once had a vet tech who was so knowledgeable and caring compared to our vet that I got them confused. My “vet” needed to give my cat IV fluid and she just kept poking him through his skin repeatedly while the poor thing was crying in pain. I told her to get lost and bring back the tech

  • @StLProgressive

    I think the world of the vet techs at the office I go to. Always helpful, they were always super nice to my cat, and they were all very thoughtful for me when my cat passed. Great people! Deserve all the respect in the world!

    @Leah-uv2uj 2 месяца назад +20

    I'm a vet and work in a small team and pride myself on still being adept at blood draws and catheters. I hate being too busy that I have to just pass patients through to the nurses to do that stuff. But also a lot of that resonated with me. Have the highest regard for our nurses/techs.

    I'm in Penn Foster's Vet Tech Associate Degree program right now as we speak. Next step is a Pre-DVM Biology degree & some experience... if I get into DVM fine, if not VTS. Nonetheless, I'm super pumped. I love you Dr Bozelka, you've helped me tremendously.

    I am a pet owner, not in any animal related field of work and I respect the HELL out of my vet techs - they go above and beyond every time and are truly excellent at their work!! I go to a fear free clinic with my anxious dog and they read her file beforehand and help accommodate or suggest management to help with her anxiety around each step of the visit. They are amazing!!

    I'm not any of these jobs, but second day working i knew where ALL of the keys were. First day was filled with three separate people asking "where are my keys?" Every 30min. Second day, i moved every set to the register and could answer every question. (We had like five different sets of keys for three vehicles and two doors)
    All you need is atleast one person in the office to know where everything is at all times.
    Keys and hammers. The two most moved things.

    Vet Tech?!! What in the heck is a Vet Tech? I'm 70. When I was in high-school, and pre-vet in college (Organic Chemistry put an end to that dream) there was no such thing. The Vet hired grown Black men to clean up the cages, and White students to hold the animals while the Vet did all the stuff a Tech does today. I specialized in cats because nobody else wanted to deal with something that had no spine and five ways to hurt you. My hat's off to ya! I couldn't do what ya'll do, and I'm sure you're under-paid.
