"BDLD"
is
veterinary shorthand
for
"DOG FIGHT!"
In the lobby of just about every veterinary hospital, one will see a sign of some sort asking the "care givers", "guardians", (whatever!), of our patients to keep their pets on a leash or in a carrier; their safety in mind, as well as ours.
Many clients, however, seem to think we , "just don't know their pets very well,...... YET!"
Can't think of a single veterinary hospital that doesn't place some type of symbol just inside the folder of pets with difficult owners. One hospital, for example, used an eight within a circle. One takes a deep breath before entering an exam room or picking up the phone when tending to the needs of an
"8 ball"!
I've always said,
"AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE (VETERINARIANS) SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO BACK AND HIT ONE CLIENT!"
If we place a sign in the lobby
warning clients of our rights,
why can't veterinarians be offered, as an option, additional protection to purchase along with basis malpractice insurance?
Fair enough!
