Description
“Sweetie, can you help me?”
“Hey, Doc, can you check this out?”
“Honey, that’s very kind of you.”
Do any of these terms make you feel disrespected? Uncomfortable?
It doesn’t matter why; if terms like these make you feel uneasy, you’re entitled to speak up. This week, we discuss inadvertently hurtful words and phrases that veterinary professionals frequently encounter in practice. We also discuss ableist language and how you can become a more sensitive a respectful communicator.
Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT, explore the world of words meant to help but may accidentally harm. They discuss common terms to discuss with your team along with ways to politely - and civilly - let others know a term is upsetting.
Viewfinders, this is an excellent conversation to share with your team. Please share your experiences and comments with us on our Facebook or Instagram pages or veterinaryviewfinder@gmail.com.
