[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 986397, member: 5601"] milkmaid Excellent post!! So I will step out of character and respond with serious answers. Re: No to all of the above. I come here mostly to learn what problems others are encountering and to keep up on the newer techniques in dealing with them. To me this is a great place to find problems that I may need to brush up on or reevaluate my position through research, both historical and new. Re: Does not apply as the 3 vets I use welcome calls for advise. Re: For me it does NOT interest me as almost all of the aforementioned services I can perform my self. But I am sure there are those who have less experience then I who could use this type arrangement. ( hobby farmers ) Re: I have no problem with it. I think it’s a good idea. Re: I would have no problem in paying $25 for a ½ hr. consultation fee when I felt it was warranted. Re: There lies the problem with a consultation fee. The vet would have to have a proven track record with me before I would agree to a consultation fee and not just dispense a cookie cutter response. Re: I’m happy with the way things are right now? Re: OK but remember “you asked for it “!! Opinions: Veterinarians are professionals and deserve the same pay and respect as other professionals. constructive criticism: Just because you have that sheepskin on the wall does not mean you know it all. Respect is a two way street so learn to respect those who have been in the business for many years as they just might teach you what you can’t learn from a book. Learn to listen and not just talk. Your people skills are as much a part of your profession as you knowledge. Now here is one or two that has been eating at me for several years now and not just in the cattle industry. I’m seeing this on TV also. Ladies, when you speak, “ S L O W” down! I don’t know if it’s just because I am old or not, but lately you ladies sound like a machine gun going off when you talk. There should be a pause between sentences to give me time to digest what you just said or to ask a question if I wish. Otherwise you sound like a used car salesman/woman. Respectfully SL [/QUOTE]
