'Physician stress score 98'..Seol Chae-hyun and Kim Myung-chul, 'The No. 1 professional suicide rate' grievance discussion (Golden Counseling Center)
Veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun and Kim Myung-chul share their concerns with Dr. Oh Eun-young.

Channel A 'Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center', which is scheduled to air at 8:10 p.m. today (25th), will be visited by Seol Chae-hyun, a dog veterinarian with 14 years of experience, and Kim Myung-chul, a cat veterinarian with 16 years of experience.

The two, who are working as animal behavior experts as well as veterinarians, laugh by saying that they have been nicknamed Oh Eun-young of the pet world while consulting with pet side(?) people. In addition, as a veterinarian specializing in dogs and cats, it analyzes whether the family members of the Golden Counseling Center are dogs or graves. Lee Yun-ji explains that it resembles an Italian greyhound in terms of its appearance, and Jeong Hyeong-don resembles a Korean street cat, Cheesy Tabby, in terms of its head. Dr. Oh Eun-young then devastates the studio by mentioning that it is similar to a giant cat 'Meikun'.

In the counseling session, which began in earnest, veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun expresses her concerns, saying, `The most difficult thing is that I cannot have a direct conversation with the patient.' Veterinarian Kim Myung-chul also adds that he cannot communicate directly with patients, so his worries about the diagnosis can't always go out of his head. In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young deeply sympathizes with this, and there is a job stress in each job. If the average score of job stress is 56 points, it can be considered to be in the high-stress group, and the average job stress score of the veterinarian is 97.7 points. Veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun recalls that a respected behavioral veterinarian received an obituary e-mail saying, `There is also research that veterinarian is the number one professional suicide rate.'

Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzes that she seems to be struggling with the dilemma that comes from a special treatment environment where she cannot communicate directly with the patient and must communicate with her guardian instead. Looking at the two, I recall the days of young doctors when it was difficult to communicate with their guardians. At that time, he responded emotionally to his feisty mind, but now he conveys his know-how on treating his guardian, saying he sympathizes with his guardian's feelings 'cognitive'.

MC Jeong Hyeong-don, who was listening to this, observed from the side that Dr. Oh Eun-young also sometimes reacts emotionally, and he mentioned that it is when he encounters the case of 'child abuse'. Dr. Oh Eun-young agrees and asks that veterinarians are likely to have a lot of emotional effects from 'animal abuse'. Veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun reveals the reality that it is difficult to prove a crime because animals cannot testify. Regarding Animal Hodder, which has recently emerged as an animal abuse problem, veterinarian Kim Myung-chul says, `I put countless cats in a ridiculously small space,' and that even if I get an infectious disease, I don't treat them because there is no problem with breeding. Veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun then said, `The dog breeding ground is the most hell out of all the animal breeding places"Living in a floating field with holes everywhere, dogs not only tremble in the cold, but also deform their claws. It adds to the shock that there was even a time when the excrement and dog bones were found together and were suspected of feeding the dead dog.

Dr. Oh Eun-young, who was listening to the terrible environment faced by the veterinarian, is concerned that beyond sympathizing with the pain of others, she will be overwhelmed by it and experience emotional exhaustion. He then explains that suffering from compassionate fatigue can increase depression and anxiety, resulting in burnout symptoms. Asked in an interview watched to learn more about the psychological difficulties of veterinarians, veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun mentions 'Anaxa'. Veterinarian Kim Myung-chul also confesses that the first euthanasia he did was his first pet cat, Atom. In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young explains that euthanasia is a grievance only for veterinarians in all occupations, and analyzes that because it is a trauma caused by my actions, I may suffer from 'moral pain'.

Recalling the past of euthanasia, veterinarian Kim Myung-chul confesses that he spent some time wandering, relying on alcohol for a while, saying, `At that time, I felt incompetent as a veterinarian that this was the only option I could make.' Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzes that veterinarian Kim Myung-chul seems to be particularly concerned that he did not take care of Atom and did not protect it. He then questions about his childhood, pointing out that veterinarian Kim Myung-chul wrote in the sentence completion test that 'My house was poor and strange as a child. In response, veterinarian Kim Myung-chul confesses that he enjoyed school more than his childhood home. "When I got second place and went home, I got beaten up quite a few times.", he says, referring to his difficult childhood under religious coercion because of his mother, who was strict about his grades, and his father, who was a devout religious man.

Dr. Oh Eun-young, who heard this, explained that there are many such families around us and accurately analyzed not only Kim Myung-chul's difficulties but also the fateful reason why he had to become a veterinarian. It will present all-time counseling to see through Kim Myung-chul's life and realize his inner secrets that he did not know. On this day, Dr. Oh Eun-young reportedly perfectly solved the problem by touching not only the concerns of Seol Chae-hyun and veterinarian Kim Myung-chul, but also the wounds he did not know.
