Compassion through the Chaos – New Grad in Mixed Practice
Megan McKeown Vet DS McGregor+ Partners
The context
Megan is good at all of the things we were taught in vet school about being kind to patients and owners – but she goes above and beyond making sure that the rest of us (vets, reception, nurses, ACAs and cleaners) are ok.
The action
Most recently, on her way to a date (!), she offered to stop by a particularly difficult call out of hours that a colleague of ours was on to lend a helping hand. She frequently may have somewhere else to be but knows that we need help and will come and help us regardless.
The ripple effect
Megan has paved the way, in the group of us new grads at least, for always keeping an eye out for each other and supporting each other no matter what. This bleeds forward to our patients and clients knowing that we’re always asking each other for help and doing our best as a team.
