The location is very close to Skid Row downtown and there are always homeless people milling about. The area reeks of urine and so its a bit unpleasant to visit.
The store is good for architectural needs with a large supply of balsa, bass and other woods. It also carries a lot of boards and plastics. For artists there a lot of paints and pigments. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable. Matthew L.

Nov And not because we believe that clients may want to choose different options, even if they are able to afford a certain option, they may choose another because that one fits better with their goals of care for their family and what they want for their pet.
How did you put the values that they have for care for their pet, the family? Yeah, exactly. And veterinarians generally assume that, the best treatment option for every pet is the most expensive, intensive and advanced.
And we also think that because our veterinary school training is done mostly at tertiary veterinary hospitals that have all the specialists and not only specialists but the best specialists, who are writing the books and the textbooks and the articles. And so, if the treatment requires multiple visits or hospitalizations, the owner may choose not to pursue that treatment.
And honestly, when I weigh the pros and cons, outpatient treatment just makes sense in this specific case. But I feel like, a lot of us as veterinarians have this, sort of, guilt that was put on us in our training of, the gold standard medicine is the best medicine and we should always be striving to do the gold standard of medicine. Do you agree? Yeah, absolutely, it is. And there are a lot of barriers to veterinarians really successfully practicing a spectrum of care. What I hear a lot from veterinarians, when I talk to them, when I talk to veterinarians who work at access to care practices who are practicing or striving to provide lower cost medicine.
One of the things I hear often is that, they feel like they are cutting corners, that they are making decisions or providing care that is substandard. And we really need to move away from that, we really need to accept that there are many different treatment options that represent good medicine.
So, I completely agree with your point about the training. I had Dr. Michael Blackwell on the podcast a couple months ago and we were talking about pet health equity and getting care for everybody and making it accessible. And so, I think that that pressure is definitely there. So, we talk about the standard of care and maintaining the standard of care and not going underneath the standard of care and then we talk about cutting corners.
The problem is, nobody knows what the standard of care is. But there is, kind of, this nebulous, what is the standard of care? That is one of the big… That has been one of the things that it causes a lot of anxiety for veterinarians, right?
Figuring out where that point is. And I think one of the things that happens is that, veterinarians default to the gold standard, to be sure that they are, at least, meeting the standard of care as defined in their practice act. But I think that one of the ways that we can let go of that anxiety is to understand that, all of those bad outcomes that happen, that veterinarians get sued, that their licenses get challenged, that there are bad reviews about them online, are mostly not about the medicine that they practice.
Those complaints, those disgruntled clients, are happening mostly because of communication and because of a lack of bringing the client into the process and inviting them to be part of the decision-making process and being clear on what the expectations are of different treatments and different outcomes.
The number of board complaints we see tied to communication or as you say, being left out of the process and feeling surprised by how things went or feeling uninformed. I think that we understate that in our own minds and we overstate what role the actual medicine plays in ending up in those cases.
And I always say, part of this is about building and maintain trust, right? Hey guys, I just want to jump on in here real fast and share with you some quick news from across the Dr. Andy Roark and Uncharted Veterinary conference world. It is going to run October 21st through the 23rd, it is all about culture.
This is for team leaders who love culture, who love having a great place to work, who love making their staff happy, who like that go to work in a place that makes them feel good about the fact that they spend a tone of their time there. If you are a culture practice, you should be here.
You should be here and you should hang out with other people who are all about culture. Her mother had been bitter that Todd Roark had cheated on her while she was pregnant — and conveniently omitted Roark's exoneration from her version of the story. Teri Denise's younger half-sister, Toni, was never told that her father was a rapist. But her mother did try to convince Toni that he was a corrupt cop, despite Toni's belief that the father she saw only infrequently was a good man.
Before Todd Roark died in , he gave Toni a slip of paper with Detective Galindo's name on it, hoping he would set the record straight, but Toni misplaced it. After meeting at the reading, the two women discover they have more in common than their shared elation at Engel's long-overdue revelations. Both were asked to drop out of college by their families; both are now divorced and fiercely independent; both have complicated relationships with their slightly older half-sisters.
Engel's page-turner unearthed a variety of secrets, and some relatives of both Roark and Fields would prefer to see those skeletons pushed back into the closet. The two daughters, however, view Engel as a savior, a beacon of honesty in lives otherwise haunted by unanswered questions and murky facts. The convicted rapist's daughter, whom the Weekly is identifying only as Linda, grew up in New Orleans' 7th Ward, raised primarily by nuns and her Creole maternal grandparents, who often passed for white.
Linda's father left when she was a baby, and her mother's family worked hard to conceal not only his atrocious crimes but also his entire existence. Linda's mother actually claimed, absurdly, that Linda had the same father as her older half-sister, even though Linda's sister is redheaded and fair, while Linda and her mother are dark.
Still, even questions about Linda's supposed father often went unanswered. Now 69, Linda didn't learn about Fields until she was 29 — and then, she was given only shards of the real story.
But she liked it. Go figure.
