Will I get rapid-fire questions? Be greeted by smiles or groans? Hear morning radio or dogs barking? Every veterinarian knows that\u2019s the moment that good news or bad news always gets delivered. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cCoco is back.\u201d I could see the vet tech\u2019s face as I turned the corner one morning. \u201cWait! What?\u201d I yelled as his form retreated into an exam room. Two days prior, I had performed a cesarean section on Coco, a tiny blond Chihuahua. Her single puppy, nearly as large as she was, was safely delivered and her surgery almost totally unremarkable. Every single step was completed exactly as I had done before \u2026 except 1. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I used a new closure technique, a common method used to reduce anesthesia time without sacrificing safety\u2014or so the research says. With the defiance and confidence of a less than 5-lb dog, Coco had done well trying to taste test the technician\u2019s fingers and was discharged to her doting owner\u2019s care the next day. Just 24 hours later, Coco had the audacity to go outside and as she bore down to urinate, her insides popped outside. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As my colleague gave me the run down in the office that morning of everything he had done to repair her incision and repair the owner\u2019s confidence in veterinary care, he also saw my face fall, my brain drain, and my heart break. All I could think was how my mistake had nearly killed Coco. I spiraled. I was a bad surgeon. I was a bad veterinarian. I was a bad person. I was lucky that my colleague caught me before I fell. \u201cStop! We\u2019ll figure this out.\u201d With his help, I was able to see that the technique I used may work for many veterinarians, but it didn\u2019t work for me. Could I try it again? Sure. Have I? No. In fact, my colleague helped me see that it wasn\u2019t even really a <\/span><span class=\"s2\">mistake. If you did the same surgery the same <\/span><span class=\"s1\">way I did that day, Coco might\u2019ve be fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My \u201cmistake\u201d was just a decision I made with the best intentions. It didn\u2019t end my career. I went on to make other \u201cmistakes.\u201d Sometimes even my best decisions and best actions did not yield the best results. That doesn\u2019t mean those are mistakes; those are battles that I lost to disease, infection, biology. They taught me more about veterinary medicine than my successes! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a secret
