And as a follow-up- I once interviewed with a VCA practice. During the interview, the recruiter remarked “We have a really high performing doctor in Illinois, and we sometimes send clinicians to her to pick up tips on how to “improve their practice””. She said this as though this was a totally normal and acceptable thing. Read between the lines- we send underperforming vets to her so she tell tell them how to make more money. She was not talking about quality of medicine. And that was when they lost me. I assure you all- the vets that work for these corporations hate their corporate overlords and absolutely wish things were different. The best they can do it keep their heads down, hope that they make enough production to satisfy the voracious appetite of the company, and get on with their day.
