Life in the veterinary practice is full of crazy moments, from rouge patients to clients giving out terrible advice. But sometimes the crazy moments come from you, as a recent post from DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital’s AtDove.org Facebook page revealed. They posted this question to their followers: “Fill in the blank: I’ve totally been that staff member who _________.” The answers were hilarious. Here are some of the highlights: (Posts have been edited for clarity.) “Said my own number when leaving a message. ????” — Dana Daugherty Taylor via GIPHY “Accidently said, ‘I love you!’ before hanging up with a client.” — Megan Cooper via GIPHY “Gets hungry for brownies after having a dog vomit chocolate. Nothing like the smell of warm chocolate, even if it is warmed by the inside of a dog’s stomach.” — Mary Romine via GIPHY “Answered the phone as French bulldog animal clinic when looking at a Frenchie's chart.” — Akire Angelique via GIPHY “Tested the new thermometer to see if they were faster than the old ones … only to find it wasn't the *new* one that I tested. :(" — Eileen Hagerman via GIPHY “Is the reason we can't have nice things.” — Syd Werner via GIPHY “Steals your pen. ✒????” — Sandra Chapin via GIPHY “Ripped pants picking up a dog.” — Amanda Panda via GIPHY What about you? Have you ever done any of these things? How would you answer "I’ve totally been that staff member who _________"? Check out the rest over on AtDove.org’s Facebook page and add your own there or in the comments.
