Dealing With Death: How Not To Lose Yourself When You Lose a Patient

Cherie T. Buisson

DVM, CHPV Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Veterinarian Certified Low Stress Handling (TM) Silver Certified QPR Suicide Prevention

Dr. Buisson wasn’t (and isn’t!) always A Happy Vet. In fact, for many years, she was An Unhappy Vet. Despite working in wonderful practices with compassionate mentors, she always felt she didn’t fit in. She found private practice draining and felt like a failure for her inability to be “a real vet”. She learned the hard way for two decades, and her mission is to provide veterinary professionals with the tools to find their happiness and to help them be comfortable if they take a nontraditional approach. She believes it’s never too late to find your place, but there’s nothing wrong with starting early!
