No offense, but I\u2019ll take my pets elsewhere<\/a>: Texas woman accepted into the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine<\/span><\/p>\n Okay, so this isn\u2019t a story about some overachieving youth applying to all of the Ivy Leagues and 75+ other schools just to see how many acceptances they can get so that they can humble brag about them on the internet, but I still felt it warranted the pound sign, because the fact that someone who is legally blind is determined to be a veterinarian is pretty bonkers in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong, I respect determination, perseverance and chasing a dream; but when it comes to the care of my pets, I most definitely am not thinking twice about looking for an alternate opinion if I knew that my veterinarian, were blind.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I admire this girl\u2019s determination and her positive mentality, but the reality is that if I have a pet going through some health problems, I\u2019m going to have a hard time accepting the words and analysis of someone who can\u2019t really see what they\u2019re dealing with, with my pets.\u00a0 I can\u2019t believe that they\u2019re going to be like fucking Daredevil, and have the ability to sonar my dog\u2019s kidney issues, or my cat\u2019s urinary tract infection, and that their other senses will be hyper productive to where they don\u2019t need eyesight to be able to do their job.<\/span><\/p>\n And she wants to be a mixed-animal vet, that cares for large and small animals, which is to say she wants to take care of horses and goats and other animals that are outside the typical veterinary realm of dogs and cats.\u00a0 Like, what is she going to do when she is called to check up on a skittish horse or goat and gets the fuck kicked out of her because she can\u2019t really see it escalating.<\/span><\/p>\n No offense, but it just seems like not the wisest career choice in the world in my opinion.\u00a0 There are all sorts of other occupations out in the world that someone with limited sight can do, while not being responsible for the life of another living being.<\/span><\/p>\n But hey, I\u2019m just a rando guy on the internet with no readers, typing away into the aether for over twenty years.\u00a0 But what this girl is doing, insisting on following a career path where the ability to see is generally among the unwritten top job qualifications, definitely constitutes #TRYHARDSZN2024.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No offense, but I\u2019ll take my pets elsewhere: Texas woman accepted into the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine Okay, so this isn\u2019t a story about some overachieving youth applying to all of the Ivy Leagues and 75+ other schools just to see how many acceptances they can get so that they can humble brag … Continue reading #TRYHARDSZN2024: the blind veterinarian<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[83,134,182,49],"class_list":["post-49860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-observations","tag-pets","tag-tryharding","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49860"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49862,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49860\/revisions\/49862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
