Why I Tell People I Sell Life Insurance

April 14, 2016 by Dr. V

What do you get when you cross a Dr V with an Apple pencil? (Aside from bad art, but that goes without saying.) A new set of cartoons, that’s what!

When I was in vet school, I was (rightfully) proud of my fledgling career choice. I shouted it from the rooftops: I’m about to be a vet! It’s so cool! Check it out! Tell me everything about your guinea pig!

But of course, with age comes both wisdom and boundaries, as well as an understanding that many people lack both. So without further ado, here are but three of the many reasons that I avoid telling people what I do unless absolutely necessary.

And before you ask, yes, all three have happened to me. 🙂

    I’d kind of like to hear the back-story of the dude wanting to know the dosage to anesthetize his dog. Maybe not.

    “Your nurse today is Jackie”, heh, appropriate.

      It is my sincere hope he was asking only in a theoretical sense, but I was in too much pain to ask much. 🙂 I was wondering if anyone was going to catch the nurse reference! 😀

    Oh my freakin gosh…. Funny, but it’s not, I guess 🙂 I about lost it with the ob/gyn one then I read that they all happened! Thanks for the smiles today.
