I must say I've been ever so slightly intimidated by the brainitude and smartiness of everyone here, which is why I've lurked for so long. That being said, I learned long ago that what type of sheepskin hangs on your wall isn't necessarily a good measurement of the size of one's brainpan.

Welcome!
And I completely agree. School measures the ability to do certain things. People who can perform well at them can be quite unintelligent in many ways. And people who struggle in school can be extremely intelligent in ways that the educational establishment has zero interest in.
Shecky:
And the contrary can be quite true as well. Schoolin' simply can't be taken as a measure of social judgement - the stereotype of the book-nerd who is dumb at everything else is just as much to be avoided as is the stereotype of the non-formally-educated being just dumb. We can't automatically draw conclusions either way.

I'm sure that the vast majority are, but not all. There's one vet in my neighborhood who seemingly can't put an animal down except in a way that imo constitutes animal cruelty, and this is absolutely judged based on more than one incidence. I can't imagine that the process is supposed to consist of the pet being stabbed many times with a needle (into the double digits) because the vet can't find/reach the vein, and attempts it in a way that conveys carelessness. Is the animal really supposed to be crying, and thrashing for over ten minutes?
If that's really what's expected then I guess they were doing their job, but I didn't see anything heroic about it.

The Process doesn't. Something is very, very wrong there. Either the person is untrained in that area or doesn't want to do. (I don't really want to think of the third option - that they might actually want to inflect pain.)
OnlyElise:
There's a Veterinarians Association right??? Some board that can look at what this person is doing?? Mr. Bruno had to have shots in all four legs before our vet could find a vein to administer the chemical to put him to sleep, but he was practically unconscious when it happened, and she's been our vet for years and we know she's fantastic.
That makes me sick.
