Dear Friends: If you are linked to a person on social media who works in veterinary medicine you may have noticed them changing their profile picture to include "NOMV" with the Rod of Asclepius. Some of you may know, but if you don't, NOMV stands for Not One More Vet because we have one of the highest su***de rates of any profession. When you see your friend or social media acquaintance change their profile, it's usually because they have learned of another colleague that succumbed to su***de. Be kind to your veterinary staff. From the front desk staff, technicians, kennel attendants and doctors. Some are literally dying trying to help you. "Not Good Enough" its a mantra of so many veterinarians. The words that flash through your mind after you are unable to save an animal. And whether the problem was medical, financial or something else... the message is the same: I have failed. And when you carry this weight, the other stressors of running through a veterinary profession can feel unbearable like what my Bose will think whether other vet can be the better choice over me. The bright, impassionate idealism to be the protector and savior of the animals turns into ash, and depression begins to take over life.
