Video

Let veterinary clients know that "we didn't find anything" can be a good report.

Your clients are hungry for information when their pets are sick. Fetch dvm360 conference speaker Betsy Charles, DVM, MA, believes you should be "as thorough as possible when discussing diagnostic test results, even if there's no there there. For example, if all you've learned from a radiograph is that there is no foreign body contributing to the patient's presentation, instead of leaving it at "we didn't find anything," she says you should elaborate.

"I would rather you say, 'This gave us really great information because we know that we can rule out some things,'" she says.
