Vet Med After Hours

Join us as we have a fascinating conversation with Brandon Hess of Vet Support. Brandon once was a semi-pro soccer player and was inspired by emergency veterinary professionals caring for his own dog so much that he joined the field! Brandon is doing wonderful things to support veterinary professionals including writing about compassion fatigue and burn out. In our episode, not only does he explain the difference between the two but we learn the cool ways that he recharges after hours to counteract the hectic work day. We love you Brandon!
