Now we've come full circle. Back to Dr. Ed's private life and self care. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.

Dr. ED, "I got to do what needs to be done, solo."

Dr. ED, "I drink ketamine a lot!"

Haha, welcome to life kid!

I’m a bit later checking in this morning because I spent more time than usual trying to coax our cat Monty to eat his food with his thyroid medication mixed in. There goes my private life!

Dr. Uncle Ed, a competent office manager and vet technician would do wonders for your work-life balance. Then you could send Steven packing, which would be icing on the cake.

Something about the term “self care” sets my teeth on edge. Bleah!

Quickest case of burn-out ever. Looks like Green Steven should take up something less stressful, such as writing an advice column (15-20 minutes a day tops) or teaching art classes at SRCC (no experience or talent needed).

Take heart, Wanders. Even a newbie reader of MW can easily become tired of the difficult dialogue, dire cases, long hours, stress and tears. At least Ed has his priorities straight in putting care of his exam table's sparkling finish well ahead of self-care.

Apparently KM has never had a pet, never visited a veterinary clinic (or even watched a show on Animal Planet about veterinarians)…oh, heck, I’m wondering if she’s ever met another human being!

I know vets work hard, but this seems ridiculous. Are there no emergency clinics in Santa Royale they can send after-hours cases too? Every time the skyline is shown, it appears as a huge city with many skyscrapers.

I live in a smallish city in northern Canada in the middle of nowhere and even here the vets take turns being on call for after-hours emergency cases. No one has to work every night after hours.

To, I mean.

Estelle sure knows how to pick them: either a work-averse warbler like Wilbur or a workaholic drudge like Dr. Ed, who is a pretty bad role model for his nephew..

I guess this is Dr. Ed's way of telling us that he's had it. He's cracking up and nothing going to stop it.

Oh, Miss Scarlet, I hope you’re right. I was afraid this was going to be a cancel culture story wherein all Santa Royale pet owners went onto Yelp and gave the docs and the clinic a verbal beatdown. Whatever happens, I hope there’ll be plenty
of §€$&#@*!

So, Dr. Uncle Ed doesn't practice self-care. Does that mean he doesn't shave his legs or underarms?
