And let's not forget to take a strip out of the Vet.... (with the relevant screen shots):

I have reviewed the verdict โ€” so basically you are claiming that you have a 'rogue' intern who you are putting in front of clients who is giving wrong information that could result in unnecessary pain and suffering.

I have had dozens of interns come through my offices over the years and they have never been permitted to make mission critical decisions - they are closely supervised to ensure they don't screw up. They are there to learn.

Yet you put this person in front of me โ€” without telling me she was an intern โ€” and she tried to convince me to biopsy my dog for cancer (at a price of nearly 5k)... when I had told her that if he had cancer we'd put him down... she only offered the meds for bowel disease after I rejected the biopsy and the fine needle aspiration.

This played out over the better part of two weeks โ€” you are going to tell me that this vet never consulted with someone senior? I find that hard to believe....

Anything for the dollar right? If I ran The Board I'd suspend your license for gross misconduct and impose a significant fine. But of course that won't happen because The Board is funded by the same people they are supposed to be keeping in line. Duh.....

Can I ask what action you have taken reign in the rogue Ms Yeo? Have you released her? Have you updated your policies to ensure this won' happen again? What exactly are you doing to ensure this stops?

But why would you โ€” we both know you do not let inexperienced interns make these decisions without consulting senior vets.

It must be nice to have The Board as your lap dog.
