I can't believe it's our last day of lecture today... where did they time go? This time last year I hadn't even got my interview notice yet. How things change.
9??? Dang!
Good luck everyone! Christmas break is almost here! Lots of drinking, not moving from the couch, binge watching Netflix, video games, and gearing up for next term!
Edit: meant to quote STL. Dunno what happened. Too lazy to fix.
can you say "gunner"? I bet you the majority aren't going to be doing much of it, either. A brain rest is more important IMHOSome of my classmates asked our lab instructor to send out next quarter's readings and lab manuals so they could start studying. Am I really that much of a slacker? I had no intentions of doing that, lol.
The absolute most I was planning on doing was practicing ausculting and maybe some anatomy review since I'll be seeing orthopedic surgeries at work. And that's still likely to not happen...can you say "gunner"? I bet you the majority aren't going to be doing much of it, either. A brain rest is more important IMHO

Research modules (that currently aren't working apparently) and a review paper that is supposed to be written in groups of 2-3. They aren't technically due until April, but we were sent an email strongly suggesting we do them now. Plus we have readings and videos to watch for the spinal cord dissection, but that can be done the night prior to the first day back to class. Nothing too bad, but I was really looking forward to two weeks of nothing!What do you have to do?
I'm sorry Will she be able to join the class of 2020?Well our class has lost at least one person so far. A very close friend and great study buddy is not moving on with our class. She supported me through a lot this semester so I don't know how I'll handle this without her next month.
Unfortunately not.I'm sorry Will she be able to join the class of 2020?
That's awfulUnfortunately not.

We start back on the 4th... Next Monday. How has the break gone by so quickly?? And I've been sick for half of it. The stress of finals week caught up to me :/How can break be half way over already???? I don't want to go back
I came down with a cold within a few hours of my last final. I'm not ready to go back on the fourth either.We start back on the 4th... Next Monday. How has the break gone by so quickly?? And I've been sick for half of it. The stress of finals week caught up to me :/
It will only get worse...once you are a vet they'll expect free exams and diagnoses without any labwork ever.Anybody else spend a fair amount of time over this break trying to tell family members that you can't tell them why their dog is vomiting or whether or not they should get the lump on their back removed? I wish I could help more, and I can't wait to be able to offer more advice than just "take it to the vet, since I'm not one (yet)"

My coworkers handed me bloodwork the last week and asked me what it meant. I told them that it meant that I'm still only qualified to determine what color a dog is.Anybody else spend a fair amount of time over this break trying to tell family members that you can't tell them why their dog is vomiting or whether or not they should get the lump on their back removed?

Has your class not reviewed how to read a CBC Chem yet? Do you have a PBL course?My coworkers handed me bloodwork the last week and asked me what it meant. I told them that it meant that I'm still only qualified to determine what color a dog is.
I mean we've covered that stuff, but I'm still no where near "Oh, this is low/high/low, so it's definitely pointing to ____." Really, we've only gone over endocrine abnormalities and the blood values you see with them. I don't think we'll get into that stuff in depth until third year, but I could be wrong. We have a 'clinical correlations' course that is pretty terrible.Has your class not reviewed how to read a CBC Chem yet? Do you have a PBL course?
And then you get bloodwork back and it doesn't fit into any of the hand-selected vet school vignettes and you're like "What the hell do I do now?!"

That's when you break out Dr. Google, usually followed by the "end of life decisions" speech.
I definitely use 'badness'. Often combined with 'not compatible with life'. Again, not in front of the client....We use a lot of very scientific descriptors at work, such as "badness" and "bad juju". [Edit - not in front of the client...haha]
