Even at a young age, I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian like my father. I'm not gonna lie though, veterinary medicine isn't really a "hobby" of mine but more of a blinking red dot on my radar, creeping closer closer. Developments in the veterinary occupation don't exactly spike my interest as much as the trailer of a new video game, but I am certain that will change in the upcoming years. My interest in the world of animal sciences has always been like a seed planted in a patch of soil. As time progressed a passion for this line of work has sprouted within me. Recently I have been working in my family owned small animal clinic, where I get first hand experience with a variety of animals. The funny thing is, I actually enjoy it. I'm hoping someday I will have a true passion for veterinary medicine.
I have never come across a veterinary blog before (probably since most veterinarians are crusty old people who can't use computers) but come googleing has led me to one.
http://www.petmd.com/blogs/fullyvetted. This blog, and probably many more like it, promote a service rather than a brand. But more importantly, it highlights important breakthroughs in the veterinary field like stem cell therapy.
Someday when I become one of those old dudes in a white doctors coat with "Dr. Deo" stitched over the pocket, I could blog about my experiences with animals. I'm sure I would see many interesting cases and since there is not doctor-patient confidentiality I can blog about them all I want.
A very insightful post. If your narrative was less compelling I wouldn't have been able to wade through the text. A good example that posts don't always need to be bulleted (although consider breaking things out more on more technical issues!)
ReplyDeleteThat blog you discovered strikes me as a great find as far as your interest in Vetrinary Science is concerned. Browsing it for less than a minute offered me huge insight into a field I know very little about.
