UVP - 208 - What Do We Do When Accidents Happen?

This week on the Uncharted Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and practice manager Stephanie Goss are tackling some serious questions that Stephanie lumped together from the mailbag. We've received some asks from veterinarians and managers facing the angry clients, online mobs, in-person harassment/bullying from people when the horrible, unexpected things happen. When a pet slips a leash and runs into the road in front of the clinic; when a patient dies with no warning during an exam; when a pet in boarding is gravely injured trying to escape their run during a thunderstorm. Things we all hope don't ever happen to us but are out of our control for the most part. These stories matter and the questions being asked by these brave leaders facing these situations matter, maybe even more than the story. Questions like "how do I emotionally support my doctor who is berating themselves for not know that pet was suddenly going to die with no warning?" or "how do I be there as a leader and support my team when we are getting death threats on our voicemail and people are being called out by name or their personal information shared online? How do I make sure we are all mentally okay at the end of the day?" These are wonderfully compassionate questions that Andy and Stephanie enjoyed looking at from multiple angles.
