I’m Not Dying, Selling nor Retiring
Heck, it’s taken me THIS long just to get any good at vetting. Why would I quit now?
But seriously, there’s a practice down the street that’s telling their customers that I’m in the process of:
- Dying
- Retiring
- Selling the Practice
- Closing the Practice
- Gravely Ill
And none of the above is true except the dying part, some day. Absolutely.
I sent a letter and he’s simmered down as far as telling that story. But I don’t know if that’s a dead issue*.
I actually got a message from another Vet who was concerned to hear from him that I was seriously ill and getting out. Another client who was angry to have to hear I was quitting from a neighbor who heard it from the Vet above. (She felt, correctly, that she’d have heard that directly from me) Another client who saw this vet on Wednesday when I was closed and was told I was dying and to get her records and move. And another 2-3 clients who heard this and called to double check.
*It’s July 2019 and I just overheard Heather straightening out another client who had been told that I was retiring forthwith.
And I’m not.
