Well, exactly. And you could lift this sentence and drop it into the other thread about the Daily Mail articles and media coverage about the cost of veterinary treatment.

No good at all! this is one off case, as surely there are black sheep in any other professions. We all know the vast majority of us are very responsible, professional, caring and act according to the Code of Conduct principles. However, members of the public do not always perceive it this way. Media articles and sensationalist news have a heavy impact in society's point of views. Whereas 99.9% of us vet do not behave like that, people are mislead into believing that this is a much more common practice

I watched a bit of it, and I'm not sure I see anything to learn from it. Looks to me like a very sad story of a vet struggling with an alcohol problem. Very sad. Not sure why she put herself in front of the camera.
