The way we’re all going into human medicine for the pay alone :(

this hurts cause there’s not a lot of us in the field but they also don’t take care of us like they should so i will always understand why people leave for a better way of life 😭😭

I’m currently in school to be a cardiac sonographer but I’ve been in vet med for the past 6 years, I know when I leave a huge piece of me will stay with every single one of my patients.

Almost 5 years in the field and I’ve been toying with the idea of leaving because of pay and the negativity. Only to possibly jump into a government job. It’s hard.

I understand why people do it and I have thoughts about it but my heart cant leave the field for some reason 😭 as terrible as we're treated, the animals barely have people to advocate for them ☹️

I’m pursuing my career to be a PA but I spent my whole life to work and be a veterinarian. Worked in vet med for 5 years and it’s so hard to leave. I never regretted working in vet med but I know my passion is somewhere else. I’m so proud of you stranger. Thank you for this video.

I left it last Wednesday after nearly 7 years at the clinic I was at, and damn near 20 years total since I first got into it. I loved it, loved my patients, but my mental health is absolutely wrecked.

12 years in vet med but in school for radiology. I have to think of 50 year old me in the future. I’m not going to have enough money to retire or enough energy to safely restrain big dogs if I stay in vet med.

I’ve been in VetMed for a little over 10 years and I literally just signed a job acceptance letter for a completely different field and this is the first video I see when I open TikTok 🥺😭

Alexa Summer :
Left vet med 2 years ago, after 9 years, for the human side of healthcare. I will always love vet med, it’s a huge part of the person I am today. But I feel more valued and respected that I ever did. I miss the animals and the job itself but not the management and toxicity.🥺

I’m so sad to leave such a beautiful dream but with no support it’s is a nightmare to work for people who care less than you

I just left vet med myself. Spent 10 years doing what I loved with every fiber of my being until it nearly ended me because of my mental health decline

12 years in the field and I left this year. Saddest and proudest moment leaving my specialty but I’m so much happier now. I didn’t realize how much stress it was causing me.

Left vetmed after 4 years. Returned 3 years later and it's a toxic relationship at this point ❤️🩹🤡
