I am a veterinarian technician (even though I DRASTICALLY changed career direction), and this is the first time I've seen someone acknowledge our existence. Thanks

As a pharmacy tech, I understand. Thank you for taking care of my furbabies, even though THEY probably don’t appreciate it. You’re doin good work❤

Amen! Same here! I was a tech for ten years. No living wage, no benefits, no appreciation! We were also actively abused regularly.

Dear god, that is painfully real. My sincerest apologies and gratitude to all of the "Toms" who have to deal with me.

Self awareness is key 🔑 👌 Good on you 👏 👍

I think this is the case for ALL of the medical technician positions for animals or people. The support staff for the doctors is really the heart of all medicine.

As a patient, I agree. I had a doctor think he could take my blood and it squirted all over. He then decided to laugh exclaiming he had a squirter over here. *facepalm * They had phlebotimists at that office so there were no excuses, he was just a jerk.

I'm a nurse for people and I CHORTLED!! You could sub "doctors" and "nurses" in the title and it's an identical situation, I shit you not. Especially the "How long do we ... usually give it over?" 😁🤣

I work in human medicine and felt called out. 😂 I literally have had some of these conversations with nurses. Thank God for nurses. 💖

I’ve found through very difficult times, more than once, that nurses are the most valuable, knowledgeable and helpful to patients and their families. They really know what’s up with the patients and give wonderful advice and help.

Oh yes… when the owner wants only the doctor to do it…😂

We smarter owners know the deal.

I was an OTJ trained unlicensed tech for 5 years. This is painfully accurate, especially the cath tape and stethoscope bits. The person who trained me literally told me "don't follow the doctors. They don't know what they're doing or where they're going" 😅😂

ER vet here. Every bit of this is true. 😂😂😂

tom is an icon, i wish him the most happiness his body can sustain in one moment

I once had a vet tech who was so knowledgeable and caring compared to our vet that I got them confused. My “vet” needed to give my cat IV fluid and she just kept poking him through his skin repeatedly while the poor thing was crying in pain. I told her to get lost and bring back the tech

Awful

‘I’m placing an IV catheter, Tom.’ Pardon me while I laugh hysterically. I haven’t been a vet tech since 1994 and nothing has changed. Nothing. 😂

Lol, this is so sweet, Doc is SO proud of himself with that cath tape job!

I think the world of the vet techs at the office I go to. Always helpful, they were always super nice to my cat, and they were all very thoughtful for me when my cat passed. Great people! Deserve all the respect in the world!

this absolutely applies to lawyers and their secretaries as well. brilliant, but don’t know how the printer works or who their clients are after a few months

I'm in Penn Foster's Vet Tech Associate Degree program right now as we speak. Next step is a Pre-DVM Biology degree & some experience... if I get into DVM fine, if not VTS. Nonetheless, I'm super pumped. I love you Dr Bozelka, you've helped me tremendously.

Excellent. This cat mom supports you. 💥💪💯💖💖💖😺

As a vet tech student graduating very soon, I love this. Thank you so much for acknowledging your techs! ❤

I'm a vet and work in a small team and pride myself on still being adept at blood draws and catheters. I hate being too busy that I have to just pass patients through to the nurses to do that stuff. But also a lot of that resonated with me. Have the highest regard for our nurses/techs.

As a vet tech of 24 years, this is pretty accurate with a lot of doctors! lol

I am a pet owner, not in any animal related field of work and I respect the HELL out of my vet techs - they go above and beyond every time and are truly excellent at their work!! I go to a fear free clinic with my anxious dog and they read her file beforehand and help accommodate or suggest management to help with her anxiety around each step of the visit. They are amazing!!

Please let Tom know if he is ever looking for work we could definitely use him!! 😂

I was waiting for you to appear, wearing your stethoscope to ask where it was. 🤣

Self-deprecating humour at its finest. 😂👍

Always properly compensates and thank your support staff. They keep the services up running and on track.

I work night shifts without techs or nurses, it's really humbling. I can call in a nurse if I get a very critical patient, but otherwise I am in my own and all the equipment is constantly mocking me!

Wait, you get a whole person to do all that? Like a nurse?

Never send a doctor to do a techs job!!

GOD'S OWN TRUTH

If I could have worked for someone like you I might still be a vet technician ♥️ 10 years 0 appreciation

Same goes for human cardiologists 😂😂

If only human Dr’s had the same amount of respect for nurses

Hysterical!!!

I was at the vet and the oke who checked my turtle is the vet tech 😂 and he also was the one who told the doctor what to prescribe

LOL!!!!🤣😅😂 Brilliant!!! Thank you so much for posting this short!!!👍

My son is a veterinarian. He talks about his techs a lot. BTW at the vid's beginning, I thought you were talking about MY cat who loves very few. Like me. Mostly.

LOL same in human medicine. As a Clinical Secretary....how many times we had to say.."No...no..you have to redo your Care Plan to be compliant with Medicare " Medical Assistants and Nurses can really relate....😂

lol I can’t stop laughing at this seeing the similarities in the veterinarians I work with 😂😂

Love love love these….getting a little confused at times on who s who but….maybe wear a different scrub shirt? ❤

Same for Dentists!

Most of the vet techs where I take my cats are competent. Did have one once who couldn't figure out how to weigh a cat. The vet had to tell her how to do it.

People medic here. sooooo vet techs are nurses, and the vet, oh poor poor little doctor 😂 (all in good fun please of course). Go techs, keep our pets alive ❤ oh, and thanks Dr BRO

❤❤

I'm a vet assistant and I have done all of those thing for both Doctors and tech.

Accurate! Same for human doctors and nurses.

Would Tom be my mom, please and thank you?

Nah, he's asking about IV doxy, which is administered through secret rituals only taught at the local Masonic temple and written down only on the last page of a dog-eared spiral notebook stuffed in the back of a cabinet in the least-used corner of the treatment room.

Vet Tech?!! What in the heck is a Vet Tech? I'm 70. When I was in high-school, and pre-vet in college (Organic Chemistry put an end to that dream) there was no such thing. The Vet hired grown Black men to clean up the cages, and White students to hold the animals while the Vet did all the stuff a Tech does today. I specialized in cats because nobody else wanted to deal with something that had no spine and five ways to hurt you. My hat's off to ya! I couldn't do what ya'll do, and I'm sure you're under-paid.
