Leg Pulling in Veterinary Field

 

Leg pulling in Veterinary Clinical Practice of Pakistan;

Hy..! This is Dr Zahid Afzal from General veterinary hospital Lahore. Today I just want to discuss a single line topic that how we the Vets of Pakistan are doing leg pulling and how this strategy is ruining the veterinary practice in Pakistan.  Now a days it’s became a common policy of every Vet that he/she had to degrade the vet by showing irrelevant skills which may he don’t possess. I’m not here to blame a single vet or group of vets but I’m here to discuss with all of you that what should be our policy and by this single policy how we can boost up our business and practice. Commonly there are many quacks in different areas of Pakistan, in quacks I’m not talking about the Veterinary Assistants. I’m talking about the quacks who didn’t possess any type of technical and professional degree/diploma but still they are in practice and also ruining other’s practice.

Now come to the major leg pulling which we are commonly faced in our daily routine field practice. Following are the some examples:

1.       A client came at one vet clinic and that vet tried his best to save the animal and his patient’s life but didn’t get succeed in it, so the owner goes to the other vet’s clinic to again start a treatment. Now come to the other vet when patient arrived at his clinic he firstly asked where the previous medication history...is So owner provides them with complete history of patient from last Vet. Now the second vet will say only one word that previous vet haven’t provided enough good medication and some wrong medication so that’s why your pet is in severe condition.

2.       Propagating against some emerging vet on social media and other platforms.

3.       Complaining and online reviews by which reputation of clinic getting worse than anything.

I mean above are few examples, how someone can be so rude and ridiculed in this regard. Do you think that you are the only vet in this planet which is having knowledge about everything of the field..?No you are not. Anyhow now come to the solution of this problem.

1.       Let’s become a chain, a single chain of vets.

2.       Only focus on your patients that what you want to treat and how you will treat let’s forget about the other vet. He tried himself you try yourself May God gave the speechless a new life.

3.       Never lose hope

I’m not blaming any one or neither I have any sole mission, I just wanted to keep safe every vet and once this norm developed in upcoming vets than this would b ea harsh factor which may affect every vet’s life. I hope no one will mind and keep focus on suggestions which I gave. I will be waiting for your precious comments and suggestions. Let’s make a unique platform and allow everyone to live his own life. Stay blessed and remember me in your prayers. Regards
