Dr. Sarah Boston, DVM, DVSc, DACVS-SA, joins Dr. Andy Roark for a hilarious and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about the worst advice they’ve heard in veterinary medicine. From “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life” to “just let them simmer” when clients are upset, they unpack the well-intentioned wisdom that can sometimes lead us astray, while exploring career development, work-life balance, veterinary culture, and what actually makes good professional advice. You’ll laugh, nod in agreement, and probably rethink a few pieces of guidance you’ve accepted as truth. Gang, let’s get into this episode!
