I felt for my receptionist today
15/01/2009 by Arielle.
We have a lovely new kind receptionist at the branch practice and it was my turn to work there today. The veterinary nurse on duty was ill so our new receptionist had to stand in for her. Her heart dropped when she saw that an 18 year old cat called Moffatt was booked in for euthanasia.
Moffatt was very dehydrated and her organs had failed with old age. She was ready to be quietly put to sleep and her owners were obviously devastated.
I felt so bad that I had to call our new receptionist in to help me hold Moffatt and bring up the vein in her front leg. I noticed the tears well up in her eyes and let her quickly leave the room as soon as Moffatt was quiet. I really felt for her.
