May 25, 200916 yr I love hearing about how you are getting on, it's cool. I just assisted in my first surgery on the Thursday. It was great! I really enjoyed getting dressed up into my scrubs and gown and face mask and gloves. Aseptic technique for the win! Scrubbing in took me a good 10 minutes at least. Unfortunately we are not allowed to post pictures on the internet, which is sad because I have some awesome pics of me in full attire. The week before that we had to try and attempt a neuro exam on 4 month old puppies. It was very challenging, but highly entertaining, with many faces thoroughly licked. Sorry to hear about all the horses, sounds like it would have been a rough week.
June 15, 200916 yr Author So I had my big three hour birds exam today. The cage and aviary medicine topic was on.... Scaly face! HAHA! What a breeze! Sometime nice finally came my way. I'm going to ignore the collective disasters that were horses, alpacas, dogs and cats. 4 down, 4 to go, 4 days left. I can't wait til exams are over and I can SLEEP. Eight exams in nine days is cruelty, it should be illegal!
June 16, 200916 yr I'll send a bottle of wine over for when you finish the last one :rofl: Your going well, love hearing about it
July 2, 200916 yr Author Quick update at work - lol. It's very late in the week I know. But I'm at Knox bird clinic if anyone wants to drop by for a visit. This week only! :yes:
July 26, 200916 yr Author Hey guys, Semester 8 has begun. Yes, I passed! With a shiny high distinction for Birds. From now on, I'm officially a trainee veterinarian. The thrill at hearing that when I'm introduced to a client hasn't quite worn off yet. Especially when they call me Doctor! I'm now doing work placements from here on out until the Grand Finals/Big Orals in November and then, well, beyond that.. well, let's concentrate on passing first. I'm currently having a blast at Canterbury Veterinary Clinic, which is officially my "dogs and cats" block but unofficially it's to satisfy my "ferrets, rabbits, snakes and turtles" needs. Drop by and visit Here's where I'll be in the next few months: * 20/07/09: Canterbury Veterinary Clinic (Surrey Hills) * 10/08/09: UoM Clinical Pathology elective (Werribee) * 31/08/09: Brisbane Birds and Exotics Service/Brisbane Bird Vet (Macgregor and Chermside) * 12/10/09: Station St Veterinary Clinic (Koo Wee Rup) I'll try to update when I can. The end is so close... Mixed Practice - now in its final season! Edited July 26, 200916 yr by Chrysocome
