I know where they are coming from, and its from a place of care and love for animals. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957112 2025-02-28 18:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957112 The gut instinct is that Kai is very strong headed, opinionated, harsh, and naive. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957309 2025-02-28 18:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957309 I personally feel the same way about euthanizing a fixable cat, but I know I have to do it. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957492 2025-02-28 18:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957492 Kai needs to ask more questions and stop assuming and also talk to me with some respect. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957629 2025-02-28 18:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957629 I feel that Kai came in a little hot. They don't even know the circumstance of the patient yet they are ready to make a judgement about them base off of nothing. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957843 2025-02-28 18:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957843 Kai interrupted the process and made the client and patient wait, and disoriented me, possibly affecting the quality of care that I would be able to deliver gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957998 2025-02-28 18:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346957998 Gut reaction is to tell Kai to go sit down, take a breath, and rethink their approach when they come talk to me again gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958214 2025-02-28 18:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958214 Makes me frustrated, because this is a new hire tech who thinks they know more about what is best. But also, I don't care much about what they think because in the end, they can either help or not gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958421 2025-02-28 18:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958421 It impacts me as it makes me question if I am doing the right thing gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958669 2025-02-28 18:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958669 It impacts me as I may worry about the effect this disagreement will have on my relationship with them gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958811 2025-02-28 18:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346958811 I understand why Kai reacted the way that they did and approached me the way that they did. It does not bother me as I may have reacted the same way. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959006 2025-02-28 18:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959006 Yes, I don't agree with euthanizing. I feel like I always have a way to pay for my pets no matter what even if that means maxing out credit cards but I also know that other people may not have the same abilities and foresight as I have. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959272 2025-02-28 18:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959272 Yes I can understand because you want to do everything you can especially if the animal is healthy gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959416 2025-02-28 18:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959416 I can understand Kai's reaction, I also tend to assume that people with purebred cats have a lot of money and it would be very frustrating to me if someone who had the money to pay for the treatment didn't want to pay for it and instead chose euthanasia. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959528 2025-02-28 18:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959528 I can because that's the only POV that Kai has (an uninformed one) gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959619 2025-02-28 18:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959619 I feel like in my experience I have had some opinions regarding directions in treatments and euthanasia's however I have always realized that the client is the one who makes the ultimate decisions regarding their pet/family member. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959756 2025-02-28 18:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959756 Yes, I absolutely can relate to Kai's gut reaction. I think though, the key here is that it is so important to not judge a book by its cover. We never know what is truly going on in someone's life. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959885 2025-02-28 18:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346959885 Absolutely. I have dealt with this a lot from the tech side of things so I have been in Kai's shoes. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960040 2025-02-28 18:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960040 Yes the situation is upsetting of course, and the owners need to be more responsible for their pets health. Everyone should ideally have some sort of emergency fund for their pets. That would be ideal. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960263 2025-02-28 18:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960263 Sure it sucks to have to euthanize on financial constraints, but this is the only way to end suffering for both the animal and the client. gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960617 2025-02-28 18:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960617 yes I think any person with empathy can understand why this case would upset someone gjnaranjo1 https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960833 2025-02-28 18:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/CVMProfessionalSkills/by6028vohshrq51/wish/3346960833
