*(You show up to work and you are scheduled for routine surgeries and regular appointments in the afternoon (after your 1 hour scheduled lunch break). You are scheduled for 4 routine cat spays in the morning. One has cancelled overnight so you have 3. Your techs and assistants have already admitted and checked in your surgeries before you arrived at work. You put your coffee and personal belongings on your desk, review any notes you have from clients (today there are none) and make your way to the kennel room to check your surgical patients.
You are greeted warmly by your surgery team. The techs gladly get to work drawing up your premeds and making the requested phone calls and the assistants are busy setting up surgical prep and supplies while you head back to your desk.
While your team is prepping your surgeries you use this time to start your surgical notes, prescribe the requested and protocoled medications, and check your emails. Your name pages over the intercom, they are ready for you in surgery. When you arrive to start your pre-op scrub, you see your surgical team in surgery with your first patient ready to go. They have an IV catheter placed, fluids are running (as per our protocol for all surgery patients), the patient is intubated and at an adequate plane of anesthesia, they are taking the vitals and have already completed the surgical prep scrub. You don your gown with the help of your assistant. Your tech does your pre-surgery check-in and confirms the name and procedure and any anesthetic concerns they have and say they are ready to go. You complete the spay and hernia and as you are throwing in your last stitch you see that your next patient is ready to receive you on the other surgery table for your next cat spay. There are now rumblings that one of the other appointments being seen by your co-associate vet has eaten a sock 3 days ago and is vomiting frequently. You know you have extra time in your surgery schedule and love to do ex-laps so you offer your services. Your co-vet is elated and offers the procedure to the clients promptly. Your medical team have already done the bloodwork, xrays and iv fluids running by the time you catch wind of it. Your surgical team preps for the upcoming ex-lap. There is a little break between your cat spays and ex-lap that you use to drink your coffee, finalize your notes, complete your prescriptions (that are printed off and filled by the pharmacy tech), and review the xrays and medical notes of your ex-lap. Your co-vet fills you in on all the case details. You are paged to surgery where you scrub in and prepare to save a life. You don't think you need one but a tech isn't too far away if you require a surgical assistant. The color of the intestine indicates that you made it to surgery in good time and the patient only requires an enterotomy. You finish up your notes, pass the case back to the vet that originally admitted the case, and just like that, it's lunchtime. You leave the clinic to run some errands, knowing they won't need you for an hour.
The clinic does this thing called puppy/kitty boards so you take the baby to the treatment room where there are several ooo-ing helpers to finish that up for you. 7-year dog vaccines (because our techs now do a lot of the
