HBC

We had our first Patient that was D.O.A. from "hit by car". As it turned out, this little dog was actually accidentally run over in the street by his owner's electric wheelchair. :(

recent and distant past

There is so much i should have been writing in here the last few months. Momentously, i got a job as a vet assistant! I went through a 5 week training and i've been on the job for at least a month now. i also finished the last of my first tier vet tech classes and i'll begin the second tier on january. i have a notebook full of the knowledge and tips i've gained. and there are many stories in my head i could tell. I wonder if i would be in trouble if i told a story about a client and my company were to find out. hopefully if i leave out the names and don't reveal where i work things should be fine?

I will try to update this blog more faithfully. i still have a lot left to learn adn it'll be great to look back on it all someday.

For know i am really enjoying reading James Herriot's All creatures Great and Small. And i'm also watching the tv series of the same name on netflix. some of the stories are so vivid they make me want to draw an illustration of the scene. Our lead doctor who told me there was a tv series used to work with a vet who met Alf wight, the real-life herriot. Apparently while he was alive, he would welcome any vet into his office to visit for a moment. sort of a brotherhood of vets. :)
