294 - Old Skool Medicine Makes Me Cringe

The Uncharted Veterinary Podcast

A veterinary professional who thought they found their dream clinic is starting to see some old-fashioned medicine that needs to go. In this episode of the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and Stephanie Goss address a mailbag letter from a new team member at a rural practice who is alarmed by outdated and unsafe medical practices. Concerned about the lack of physical exams, rushed appointments, and poor surgical sterility, this person wonders how to raise these issues without overstepping their bounds. Andy and Stephanie discuss how to navigate the difficult conversation of addressing substandard care, offering advice on recognizing capacity limits, setting personal and professional standards, and practical ways to advocate for patient safety.
