Dr. Sarah Boston, veterinary surgical oncologist, comedian, and the very first guest EVER on the Cone of Shame Veterinary Podcast, is back, and things go off the rails almost immediately! We’re talking about the hills we wish we’d stood on earlier in our veterinary careers, emotional blackmail, professional boundaries, and some of the uncomfortable realities of veterinary medicine, including pet relinquishment, animal welfare, and how we compensate veterinarians. Sarah and I don’t agree on everything, and that’s half the fun as we challenge each other’s perspectives on where our profession is headed and what really deserves our energy. Gang, let’s get into this episode.
