Ep. 85: Pain Relief, Ketamine, & Ego: From ER to Micro Mobile Practice in Guelph; Meet Dr. Lisa Kril

Dr Lisa Kril has a micro mobile practice in Guelph, Ontario where she provides housecalls for acupuncture, euthanasia and comfort care. Her primary focuses are pain relief, and comfort - while providing a cozy supportive experience for pet owners and pets alike. She also works as an emergency vet, and in a referral rehabilitation practice. Her mobile practice has allowed her to feel so many sparks of joy and connection, and complete a work day without her shoulders being around her ears.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Dr. Lisa's journey of transitioning from an RVT into a vet and how her prior experiences helped her start and shape her own practice as a recent graduate
• Why niching down as a house call vet is the key to being better and happier at your job
• How putting your ego aside and asking for help is a valuable asset as a house call vet and allows your clients to recognize that you truly care about their pets
• The beauty of the intimacy you create with your clients and how that permits them to ask more vulnerable questions and connect on a deeper level
• Dr. Lisa's pyramid approach to pain management and the most overlooked things that can make the biggest difference in your pet's comfort
• The lack of confidence vet schools generate and how to overcome that to deliver care that you are proud of
