How to Cope with Being On-Call

Shift work and being on-call is such a difficult thing that so many veterinary care providers deal with. Marie Holowaychuk, DVM, DACVECC, critical care specialist and veterinary wellness advocate for Critical Care Vet Consulting, talks about ways to better cope with being on-call.
