Caffeinators, it's not often we have a guest that is not a credentialed veterinary technician. But when those opportunities present themselves, we make sure it's a discussion we think you'll benefit from, and this is certainly one of those. Anthony Pierlioni is a manager of a multi-specialty hospital in Connecticut. His background isn't in veterinary medicine-it's in social work. We've have a couple episodes in the past where we've discussed the benefits of having a social worker on staff in vet med, and this is a step in continuing that discussion. He talks about his unique experience and viewpoints as someone who is not a career vet med head, and how different personalities in management and staff, as well as differences in skills and many other things could, and should, be leveraged to get the very best out of the team. Finally, he's a TURTLE guy. Like, big time. He does some amazing education and work with sensitive species of turtles, has TWO of his own podcasts about turtles, and so much more, and we spend a lot of time talking about all that too! Really fun episode here that you don't want to miss!
