NOMV- Not one more Vet
NOMV. What is this not one more vet that is talked about in the profession you may ask? The veterinary profession has one of the highest suicide rates known. And i can tell you Covid made it twice as worse. People are mean and nasty, the profession as a whole is overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated. Its not just about the veterinarians its about all the staff, the techs and receptionists. We all get beaten down. Unfortunately a lot of people in this profession go into it already having there own mental struggles to begin with and the field exaggerates it. See my previous post for more on this topic. I signed up to do the virtual walk this year. It is the second year they are doing it. I am very passionate about this cause. I have talked about it in a previous post. They are trying to start a chapter in Portland Maine and i signed up to be a part of that. Zoetis is the biggest sponsor behind it. We need to spread more awareness and get more resources and help change this field
