On the other hand, vet schools do a pretty decent job of teaching that the owner must be dealt with, so maybe he'll either learn or wash out.


I've only taken animals to one veterinary teaching hospital
so I don't know if this is typical, but there the vet school
students there are required to do internships in the
hospital regardless of eventual specialization, and they're
heavily supervised at first. By the third year they're
seeing patients alone, and while their work is reviewed by a
resident their interaction with the patient and client are
not. You see a wide range of personality types but I have
yet to run into the solipsism and arrogance that we've
repeatedly seen from Dale.

Yes. I have a veterinary teaching hospital in my town. Unfortunately I have some real fundamental issues with the VTH in general so I avoid it like the plague (way overpriced, they pimp services to you, try to get you to do unnecessary surgeries, misdiagnose and, worst of all, refuse to let you be present when your pet is being treated, not even for a shot). But in spite of that most of the students I've met have been pretty darn cool. And we're working on the other part at another level.
