Listen "COS 126 Battling Back Against Moral Distress"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Indu Mani is on the podcast today discussing moral distress in veterinary medicine. The pain we experience when we know the “right” thing to do but are unable to do it can take an ethical toll. For those of us practicing veterinary medicine, this toll may contribute to burnout, depression and other job stressors. So what do we do about it? How do we battle back against a condition that seems ubiquitous to our profession? Let’s get into this episode!
