## Resource

Dr. Kate Boatwright, DVM, joins Dr. Andy Roark for a thoughtful (and surprisingly spicy) conversation about three phrases veterinarians say all the time: "If you can't afford the vet, don't get the pet," "You can't care more than the client does," and "That's below the standard of care." Together, they unpack the nuance behind these statements, explore judgment in veterinary medicine, discuss spectrum of care, client financial limitations, veterinary burnout, and what compassionate, contextualized care really looks like. If you've ever wrestled with balancing patient advocacy, client realities, and your own emotional wellbeing, this episode will leave you thinking long after it's over. Gang, let's get into this episode!
