Vet school taught me the medicine.
But clinics taught me everything else.
In this episode of Behind the Stethoscope, I’m sharing the lessons vet school didn’t fully prepare me for — the ones you only learn once you’re in the clinic, especially as a new grad.
From learning that you don’t have to know everything, to realizing how much communication really matters, to accepting that you can’t save every patient — this episode is an honest look at what real-life practice teaches you.
We also talk about:
--Why medical records are truly the worst
--How learning to laugh at yourself can save your sanity
--Why you don’t have to know everything to be a good doctor
--How communication matters just as much as medicine
If you’re a vet student, new graduate, or anyone navigating the realities of veterinary medicine — this episode is for you.
