Forgot to update

[Mephys 2]

So I am currently enjoying a well deserved vacation, chilling at home, sleeping late every morning....

BUT I forgot to up date you guys about one major thing.

I think I had wrote about that night staff supervisor that was a total ####### and that had been working there for 20 years and because it's hard to find night staff nobody was doing anything about her attitude etc etc.

Well, SHE GOT FIRED!

Funny thing is she took it upon herself to get into a delicate situation. A police officer brought in a old Rottweiler stray that had been hit by a car and was in pain, and she decided that she knew that dog and told the officer he was always playing that game with her ( ####### ) and dragged the dog by the coller in the hospital, making it scream and struggle in pain IN FRONT OF THE POLICE OFFICER! He didn't like what he saw, called a coworker and they filed a police report on her for animal crualty with all the other employees from my work as witnesses, because nobody liked what they saw. She had been dragging and hitting other dogs before but nobody ever did anything about. Sometimes there are big dogs that require a little more strenght when restraining them because they try to bite and all, but this was totally uncalled for. The dog was in dire pain and we usually manipulate them very gently.

They say when you spit in the air it's gonna fall back in your face....well there ya go.

[JillA 2]

How could someone do that to an animal, especially one that works with animals and is supposed to help them... glad to hear her a$$ is grass!

[BermyCat 1]

It makes you want to volunteer to kick her when she's down. I'm glad she got fired.

Like I said, when we got big dogs that are growling at us or trying to bite and we need to restrain them to get a blood sample or look at a wound, we take measures to make sure it's safe for us and for the animal. We have to muzzle them, or we lay them on their side and we have 2 people holding the dog so he doesn't kick or scratch the person taking the blood in the face, etc. But what she did was totally unacceptable. When they are in pain we lift them or we lay them on the gurnee if they are unable to walk. That poor dog was a stray, and on top of his injuries he had a bad tumor right on his face, and he never got claimed ( we have a 7-14 days waiting period for all strays) so we had to put him to sleep to take him out of his misery. He was on pain meds while he was staying with us.

Poor thing. What a horrible ordeal to have to go through, but at least now no other animals will have to suffer at the hands of that madwoman. Hopefully this makes work more enjoyable for you again too!

Nice to hear she's gone.

This may be a dumb question, or maybe I didn't read about it in your original thread about your job...

Are just on vacation, or did you leave the clinic? I had thought about you & your situation & was wondering if you made a decision.

I actually schedule myself a 1 week vacation to rest and relax and get away from there But now that the other ####### if fired it's been much smoother at work for the past 2 weeks already. So I might actually stay there longer than I thought.

Also there was 1 vet I didn't get along with and she was working nights and she just left for another hospital to work day shift.

So that's 2 people that were causing me trouble that are gone

I'm sorry that the dog had to go through such trauma and pain with the assistant who now is fired. On top of what he/she was already going though. How horrible! Sounds like the few bad apples that made your life there unbearable have "moved" on. I hope that you enjoy your new workplace now!

[thetreble 19]

Woo! I know you were stressed Mephys so I'm happy for ya. Things always work out in the end! I hope you can enjoy your environment more now.

poor doggie that woman sounds like a sadist.

[Flames9_RN 358]

Glad ur work situation turned out well. the 2 weeks at the vets was prob the most comforting for the pup, out of pain, and around people that cared about him!!

More like a bipolar frustrated lesbian

Don't mind me, I have nothing against bipolar people, or frustrated people, or lesbians....Just the mix of it all is kinda deadly

She would be nice one day, and mean the other day. And you could tell she is completely insecure with herself because she would belittle anyone around her and criticize everything, on top of repeating herself 4-5 times (apparently she had a stroke few years ago and that's when it started) Ironically she is the one who hired me in the first place, and she was really sympathic at my interview. She is nice to you until the day you talk back at her. All the weak people that are followers were her best friends, and she would ignore everybody else except when she had an occasion to belittle them. Well most of you know me, I don't take that really good, so I got into her enemies list really quick.

We have a medication that we give IV slowly (injectable metronidazole for flames ) and one day I was giving it at 2pm and got pulled away and there was about 10cc left in the syringe. She found it around 3:30pm and came and felt the need to tell me "Well it has to be given slow, but not THAT slow" to which I replied " NO $hit" She didn't like that
