(Hope nobody wasted money on college or anything...and how do you convince a boss to give you a job you've never done before? Or hire you right out of school with no practical real life experience?)
4. Some people know everything and can't believe anyone else has any competence.
5. God forbid anyone actually ask for advise, suggestions or help because that means you are a loser and incapable of anything worthwhile to society.
Did I miss anything? Very instructional post going on here. |
Let's convert this to real life, shall we?
Let's say you are pregnant. Your next door neighbor has read on the internet how to deliver a baby. Do you trust your life and the life of your unborn child to them or do you go to experienced professionals?
Sound extreme? Not really. The life of the dam and pups are very much in the hands of the people who are monitoring the pregnancy period and the whelping. Do they deserve any less than a person does just because they are dogs?
And what about using the internet to talk with someone who is experienced in whelping? Well, let's go back to the pregnant woman example. I've attended thousands of deliveries in my 22 years as a nurse. I would never, ever think I was qualified to tell someone how to do it at home all by themselves. There's no possible way to tell them all the possible things they need to be on the look out for and what things are normal and what aren't in any given delivery. A huge part of a successful delivery or whelp is anticipating problems and keeping them from happening and intervening properly when they do. That just can't be done safely over the internet.
