00:00Veterinarians are struggling more than you think. Their suicide risk is three to four times higher
00:05than that of the general population. So why such distress? First, a massive workload that leads to
00:12chronic burnout, repeated exposure to euthanasia and animal abuse, often aggressive pressure from
00:19some owners, and the constant fear of making a mistake. Some ask why the suicide rate is higher
00:25than in other equally difficult professions, especially in human health care. The answer?
00:31Easier access to lethal drugs. Add to this a persistent stereotype, the vet as a money-making
00:37machine. Yet for most, this profession is a calling one that began in childhood, out of love for animals.
00:44One bad experience does not define an entire profession. When things go wrong, we shout it
00:50from the rooftops. When things go well, we often stay silent. But a kind word can make a huge
00:57difference. Our animals are the apple of our eye. It's normal to be worried or stressed. But behind
01:04the lab coat, there are humans, with their skills, their limitations, and their passion.
