How Safe Are You?

Our hospital is on the verge of opening up an emergency clinic. My first couple of jobs required emergency coverage as part of every full-time doctor’s duties.

I’ve never been a big fan of facebook. A good friend of mine finally badgered me enough to actually create a page, but I admit I don’t really check it, or post anything on it.

Another mailing arrived today. Such a lovely brochure: neatly laid out, pleasing to the eye, the pictures of happy people. I gaze at it wistfully. No, it is not a vacation brochure.

September 11, 2001. Most people remember where they were and what they were doing. I was working for a shelter at the time and was in Crystal City, just outside of Washington DC, for an annual animal welfare conference.

Well, the latest statistics are out from a study done in the UK – veterinarians are 4 times more likely than anyone else to off themselves. Twice as likely than other health care workers, including our human counterparts. Surprise, surprise.

Growing up my first several years in southern California, DisneyLand was a standard fixture in my life.

Remember when you were little and all adults were addressed respectfully as Mr. or Mrs. So-and-so? Perhaps this is assuming too much, but this was how it was growing up for me. Then, as I got older and went on to college and then vet school, professors were likewise addressed with respect as Dr. Last Name. As time has moved on, however, I have noticed an insidious change in this system of address.
