Welcome to this episode of The Underdog Vet Podcast! In this episode’s Animal Advocate Interview, I spoke with Dr Meghan Vaught a vet from the Maine Veterinary Medical Centre in Maine on the East coast of America. Meghan is a Critical Care Specialist and one of the medical directors at the hospital. She was the lead vet on a particularly upsetting case back in June 2022. Meghan and I discussed the details of the case, its coverage in local media and the subsequent repercussions of that coverage. We then moved on to talk more generally about the impacts on vet staff, team morale and the importance of teamwork. And finally we spoke about how pet owners can be best prepared for unexpected veterinary bills! Some terms mentioned in the podcast that not every listener might be familiar with:
