| The Complementary Vet The work of a Complementary Vet explained
The word 'complementary' is a tricky term. It probably indicates to the modern reader that the vet uses one or more forms of 'complementary medicine' or 'alternative medicine'. However, in any particular case, if this form of medicine were to prove more capable than the modern conventional norm, then the use of conventional medicine may be deemed 'complementary' to the use of the 'alternative' in that case. This makes the term almost meaningless, without detailed terms of reference. At the AVMC, we prefer not to use this term, as it is so ill-defined in its meaning and almost has a condescending tone when applied to 'alternative' medicine, as if that medicine can have no existence without modern conventional medicine. Of course, we will work alongside conventional medicine, if that is in the best interests of the patient. However, so many of our patients have come to the end of the line with their conventional treatments or react very badly to drugs, when we first see them, making conventional medication no longer an option. Arguments aside (see 'holistic, alternative, natural or complementary'), we get on with the important daily business of delivering holistic care to our patients (Services).
