A just-published survey of 2000 members from the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) shows that "personal encounters with futility were ubiquitous and frequent."
Most define futility as "continuing treatments when suffering is uncontrollable." Yet, most agreed "there are situations in which providing futile treatments is appropriate."
All this futile treatment is causing significant stress and burnout among veterinary technicians. This is also the case among nurses in many surveys on futile treatment for human patients.
