Country Vets in England
I found a great article about Mr. Jack Watkinson's son, a country vet in England. If you have been following my blog for many years, you are familiar with Mr. Jack Watkinson because I was very fortunate to have been able to work in his veterinary practice in 1979 in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, England.
It seems like yesterday when I accompanied Mr. Watkinson to the BBC set of "All Creatures Great and Small", and assisted with the animals being filmed. Mr. Watkinson is retired now, as is Mr. Nick Naish, the veterinary surgeon with whom I spent most of my time while "seeing practice " in the Yorkshire Dales.
I want to share the article with you.

That Yorkshire sense of humor remains to this day.

The reality is that for-profit veterinarians are very efficient because they have to be - because they are running a business. Therefore they can do a higher volume with a number of people they have on their staff, and they can do the services more efficiently, and sometimes with more knowledge. The very best veterinarians end up working for themselves, most of them do not work in nonprofit organizations, although some do, so it's not fair to make a blanket statement either.
