Do you know whom you're hiring at your veterinary practice?

A few months ago, Heller saw a shocking post on Facebook about a relief veterinarian who stole another veterinarian's identity and used it to obtain controlled medications to feed her drug addiction. According to the post, this veterinarian was also caught forging checks and practicing medicine far below the standard of care. In fact, her license had expired. So, this doctor was breaking many laws and practicing bad medicine, and her colleagues and manager never suspected a thing until the damage was done? Most veterinarians are skeptical. It might be years before they trust the safety and efficacy of a new drug or method of treatment for our patients.
