What job do people underestimate the difficulty of?

Can confirm about being able to know less. We just fired a vet last month because he was literally the worst vet I have ever met. Made constant major mistakes, like telling an owner their dogs bloodwork showed it was perfectly healthy. Other vet glanced at it sitting on the counter and said "Aw, which of your patients has cancer?" Turned out second vet was right. Dog has super bad cancer. Owners refuse original vet now.

Another instance was when he got a call from a horse owner who thought their horse was mid-colic and he was like "Eh, you would know what colic looks like. If you're not sure, he's definitely not." (Other vet was not in that day, otherwise we would have just sent her.) They called his cell phone about an hour later (he had given the number to them in case the horse got worse) because they were still pretty upset and he lies and tells them he had already left the office and had been drinking. In his words "If they're this wishy-washy about their horse being sick, I'm just not going to deal with this tonight. I'm going to nip this in the bud." Owners called the next morning to let us know the horse was, in fact, suffering colic and the other vet they called said it was too sick/old at this point and the horse would need to be put down. When shit vet offered to come out and do it, they were like "nope. We don't want you." Colic hurts. This poor horse suffered for hours because he didn't want to deal with these owners.

Heard he is working at another vet a town over. I doubt that will last long. Still don't understand how he passed vet school.
