'I raised my voice at a client': Veterinarian stands up for their services in a world where Karen culture puts too much power in the hands of chronic complainers

The internet is quite literally bursting with videos of Karen clients making fools of themselves in public nowadays. They used to be funny when they weren't happening every single day. But now, it seems like every other person encounters a Karen in public, arguing over her coffee not being hot enough, arguing that they weren't treated fairly in their professional opinion, or whatever other silly reason they can attempt to justify. At this point, it's just cringey. It's not funny anymore, and it has to stop.

We've put pawsitively too much power into the hands of these chronic complainers. That's why we wanted to share this vet's brave post below - where they stand up for their decisions as a veterinarian and dispel some common myths that people seem to believe from rumors on the internet. Veterinarians and vet technicians are experienced and educated, but that doesn't make them miracle or charity workers. They do the best they can because they love animals and genuinely want to help. If you refuse to listen to their advice, that's on you, but don't blame the vet for something that could have been avoided if you had been more responsible.

We worked at a veterinarian's office when we were teenagers, as a receptionist. It was a summer job, and we're glad that it was because we couldn't stay there any longer. All we can say is that some people really don't deserve pets.

This isn't news to any of us millennials - we've been dealing with prices of quite literally everything rising since we were born. From gas to apples, everything that was once affordable is now becoming a luxury. How are we ever going to buy a house if we have trouble paying for our dog's vet visits?
