“It’s not always about you, right? Sometimes it’s about diarrhea and sometimes it’s about that other person and what’s going on in their head. and you know it’s just kind of, it’s a funny story that I-I just love, because it just helps me remember that little token of advice.” Our guest today is Dr. Ericka Mendez. She is the author of The Purposeful Vet Blog which tackles tough topics in veterinary medicine. Dr. Mendez is very open about her “love-hate relationship with my profession” and her personal struggles outside of work which brings a true authenticity to this interview and her blog.
