[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9675828, member: 177"] So, I know this is from a way back, but the thread popped back up, and I saw a quote and thought about it... My wife is a veterinarian. She's known she wanted to be a vet since she was, like, five years old. My wife's practice is centered on geriatric, hospice, and end-of-life care. She deals with cases of debilitating arthritis, cancer, organ failure, and the grief of people losing loved ones. Every. Gorram. Day. To say she has a passion for relieving the suffering of her patients (and her clients) would be a vast understatement. Indeed, if you don't have such a passion, you don't stay in the business of helping humans and animals deal with such pain, suffering, anxiety, and grief for very long. And the [I]only[/I] way to serve this passion is professionally. Duffers are doomed to do more harm than good. So, really, I think it pays to know the extent of your passion, and choose accordingly.
