The hardest part is having to address our mission without all of the resources that we need to carry it out. This is extremely relevant at a time when we're being told to downsize even more. As I've said, they're already going beyond what is a normal call of duty. As we lose people, the work doesn't necessarily go away, and so those who remain have to take it on. I don't know any better work.
People have to realize that veterinarians have medical degrees.
There's one medicine, whether you're dealing with a human animal or one of the lower animals. The bodies are largely the same. We use many of the same drug products on humans as we do on dogs and cats and food animals. Considering the nature of our training in veterinary school, ours is the broadest-based medical degree. Being a veterinarian, one is able to see the world through a wide-angle lens when it comes to medicine, diseases and health.
