Love this for all kinds of people! That genuine interest in their field is something I look for everywhere.
Once had a vet completely ignore me, greet my dog, and had to get a reminder from another member of the staff to realize/acknowledge that I was in the room too. Stuck with him until his retirement, he was the same until the end.
Though he did have a checklist his wife made for him some point after that first visit, which had as its first item - and I’m quoting here because he showed it to me after I had been going to him for years
Greet the HUMAN!
Its been a couple years since he retired, still can’t find a vet as dedicated to animals as he was. Dogs, birds, turtles, whatever - if you could carry the animal in, he knew about it to an incredible detail.
Anything else good on that checklist that you remember now?
The rest were longer and its been a while, but there was one about asking if there were any questions before starting to check the animal, where to put the paperwork, things like that. His wife used to do all that with him at the office, she had a busted ankle or something going on with her leg iirc, and I think she made the first version of the list around then.
That was the only really stand out funny one though, the rest were more or less procedural bits.
We see him at the county fair sometimes, though he’s getting a bit up there and slowing down. Doesn’t remember me or my wife in the slightest but absolutely recognized our dog every time. She passed this year though so he probably won’t know who we are without mentioning her.
Real Gs have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Until i cannot drink anymore to the point that I must bathe in it
I would have so much respect for any doctor delaying my care for the sake of research
There’s a time limit, however.
Right, but if he’s geeking out, and I’m learning something, a couple of hours would be fine. Not that any doctor would spend that long on such a thing.
I have to be frank here - no matter how cool this story may be, I was unable to make it very far because of the poor (read: complete lack of) capitalization and punctuation. It might be a me problem, but these things combined with it being a screenshot made this impossible to read without a headache.
This is a late-Gen Z/Gen A thing. They don’t use punctuation or capitalization anymore. Apparently they view it as too formal or “fake”. They relate it to “fake it til you make it” mentality in the workplace.
I know this is a “no the kids are wrong” take, but I just find it infuriating to read. I understand you want to be more genuine and I’m all for that…but if I can’t fucking read what you write because it’s 28 lines of all lower case, unpunctuated text…that’s not a “professional” versus “being genuine” problem. That’s broke ass communication.
If you’re an adult, at your workplace and react/interact like this, something very important is still alive and thriving in you.
It means you chose the right job. Or you have ADHD. Probably both?
This? Right here?
Is what human interaction is SUPPOSED to be like.
What neat little creatures. The Green eye also is bioluminescent. Have 3 short videos: https://www.mbari.org/animal/strawberry-squid/
I honestly love that the optometrist stopped working to look up something just like we do!
My kid (almost 10) takes guitar lessons.
His teacher is cool. He lets me bring my guitar and learn alongside him.
All three of us, I should add, have wicked ADD.
Most classes start out like this…we both tune up, my kid takes longer…I start playing whatever 3-4 chord song I’ve been working on that week. Teacher doesn’t know what song it is.
But within a couple of bars he knows exactly what song I’m playing and continues the song and we’re just a couple middle-aged ADD guys rocking out.
It makes doctor-patient interactions a lot easier when you walk into the room with an understanding that it requires an autistic level of dedication to actually study that shit and memorize it all.
and memorize it all.
i have some news
