do u think if u bring ur dog to the hospital that the doctor working with you should tell u if they r a intern

Question

not just for a check-up, but to diagnose a 10 year old dog and tell u that they need emergency surgury or else put them to sleep

it is a graduate vet but they are in their one year intern. I just know if i knew they were an intern i would'nt let her touch my dog.I wouldn't let an intern go 10 feet near my children and my dog is also my child. It was an emergency scituation and i thought i could trust the hospital since i was in histerics. in ending my dog passed on.

i am sick about this. i just have weird feelings about the whole scituation. the whole place has been rude and insensitive making me chase them for my dogs file and xrays saying they cant find it. then i threaten to have someone come and legally get it for me and then all of a sudden things start happening. But im def calling my lawyer.

yah, i was aware that she was an intern i would have made the decision to go somewhere else. and i find out they have an unsatisfactory report with the better business bureau. i have taken my dogs there for regular checks up for a long time and thought they were good until now.

Answer 1

Yea, I think they should, just because most people aren't going to feel comfortable with an intern, who is still fairly new to the practice, giving a diagnosis to their pet, who is probably just as much a family member. I wouldn't want an intern being the sole caretaker for my animal. I would want someone with experience to handle and to diagnose my pet before I did anything... I don't think it's right if they don't... that would be like walking into a Dr's office and a nurse portraying herself as a Dr. with a Ph.D

Answer 2

Hmmm. I never really thought about it. On one hand, I can see that this could be a good thing, as newly trained vets can be a bit more modern in their thinking. But then again, books don't have the same impact as real experience. I suppose it wouldn't hurt for the intern to say, "Hi, I'm Dr. ______ . I'm an intern here. What seems to be (dog's name) problem?" But then again, as a tech, I never introduced myself as anything but the vet tech. I don't know if there's a "right" answer here. I hope this is a hypothetical question and that your dog is OK.

Answer 3

think it thru....the new vet has everything fresh in his/her mind and knows the latest diagnostic techniques etc....the new vet has the experience of the established vet as his/her disposal and is being watched closely by the established vet and also must consult and explain the diagnosis and treatment options. I can see both sides of this issue. If an intern was to announce to each client that he is just learning that would not instill confidence and probably not allow him to work thru many cases. It sounds as tho you are having issues with the practice and if so then you should seek a second opinion from a vet at another practice. Please also keep in mind that what you are going thru is emotionally upsetting no matter who you see and if the diagnostic results are not what you want you are going to be upset anywhere.

Answer 4

Yes. You should be informed if the doctor is an intern though I do not think this is required. You could of course always ask to make sure you are speaking with a doctor who has previous experience. If you are informed than you can make your own decision about the care of your dog.

Answer 5

You mean a vet office or a human hospital?

I'm assuming you mean a vet's place, so if an intern or technician tells you what needs to be done--get it verified by an actual vet. They usually wear different coats/lab vests. Especially on important things.

Answer 6

Absolutely. No offense to the intern, but if it's about ending the life of my dog, and I want to hear it from someone experienced. In fact, I probably would get second opinion nonetheless.

Answer 7

the well being middle I went to to pre sign up gave me a e book with a great form of stuff in it, so think of it relies upon on the place you bypass and how they do issues. yet i could desire to provide you a concept on what to deliver you will need clothing to the place domicile loose setting up by way of fact no longer all the burden comes off genuine away, something for the toddler to the place domicile, and in case you desire to deliver stuff for it to have been on an identical time as on the well being middle, bathe stuff for you your guy or woman pillow blanket and different own products in the event that they are going to help convenience you in the time of hard artwork a concentration merchandise to maintain your suggestions off the discomfort,hair tie in case you have long hair to maintain you hair out of your face slippers for walking interior the halls have the youngsters automobile seat interior the automobile examine to bypass so which you do no longer could desire to do it later.

Answer 8

If they're making a huge decision about your dog, then yeah! They should tell you they're an intern!

Answer 9

if you go to this vet regularly then you should know if the person is an intern.
