on asking me to do things that are either illegal or highly bad for my continued employment? (or both!)

I would not even begin to count the number of times I've been asked to prescribe medication to an animal I've never seen or haven't seen in years (and usually NOT for the current condition then).
So, in case anybody wonders--it is illegal to prescribe drugs to an animal I haven't seen for the condition in question within the last year. Puppy shots 5 years ago DOES NOT COUNT!
Nobody at the clinic will be sending out scripts for valium to be filled at an outside pharmacy, either. Thanks for playing, but not a winner.

And for fuck's sake don't try to guilt trip me into working for free! Whining that I "have no sympathy" or "don't care about animals at all" does not win you points. If I didn't care about animals, I wouldn't have put myself through four years of fucking hell in vet school and dug myself fifty THOUSAND dollars into debt just for the chance to do this job. It is not my problem that you've got no checking account and your credit is so fucked that you can't get a mastercard. Don't expect me to run the clinic bankrupt out of pity for you.

But my cat is in a lot of pain! I need a bunch of Morphine to keep him comfortable! Please send it in an unmarked paper bag. Hopefully in the shape of a 40oz bottle of Ole English.

I'll e-mail you my address.

Hey, that'd be even more illegal than the usual requests, since I'm not licensed in the state you live in. :P

See! You really don't care about my intense additions to medica...

I mean my Cat. Yeah, that's it.

But the cat has the shakes when he hasn't had his meds in a while. Not to mention mood swings, irritability, cold sweats, and screaming at his wife and child!

Shit.

I mean screaming at his wife and child...

Oh, I give up.

So, moral of the story is no 40oz of Morphine in the mail huh?
