Vets are either good or bad depending on opinion, environment, experience, mood etc. They are human and, as such, fallible. Grades, in my opinion, have little do with clinician performance. You can have a straight A student and an incompetent practitioner who fails to put theory into practice and vice versa.
It is frustrating that the people we look up to are so flawed, sometimes. My own "doctors" are annoyingly incompetent which is partly due to the performance "targets", complacency, ego, distractions, etc.
What can be done about it? It's not like they don't already get paid enough! |
