You get up the next day, everyone has a laugh at you, and you just go on.” --- ### “… a lot of sharing experiences, disasters, consequences, best ways forward.” --- ### “I just said to myself: When have these things ever felt this bad 24 hours later? When you can sleep it off and come back renewed.” --- ### “Being a new grad is crap. I felt that I got a bit of respect when I’d been out 4 years.” --- ### “I’ve got a reasonably good rota in my current job and the out of hours work is pretty quiet so I just say just get through this and get it done.” --- ### “you break it down into little instances, reminding myself that I’ve never carried them more than 24 hours at a time although I feel terrible at the time, that really helped me” --- ### “… it was just experience of realising that if I did take it personally, I’d hate my job.” --- ### “I’m getting better at disassociating myself from it … I am trying to make an effort to step back, look at it as an outsider and think, right that wasn’t ideal, what will I do next time.” --- ### “I’m not the sort of person to bottle it up and that probably helps me as well. It’s done and I’ve forgotten about it. You lose your temper, have a moan and that’s it.” --- ### “… you have an identity as a farm animal vet and so you know that it’s a difficult club to be in but you’re proud to be in it.” --- ### “You get more realistic as time goes on: Some things are just not solvable. I think you get better at warning the client in advance so their expectations are managed better.” --- ### “Outside insight could be very helpful. Perspective - we all need a bit of that. We’re very good at being introspective and not very good at getting outside input.”
