PhilK - you are a vet student.
Fact.
You have spoken in very loud and very unsavoury terms about a qualified veterinarian that you don't know, and have reflected at length on the "nature" of the editorial content of his very popular show.
Fact.
In addition to your critique of a qualified veterinarian that you don't personally know - you have attended, along with your classmates, roughly 10 or so foalings. This would make you an expert on ??
What abs would you introduce if you are confronted with patent urachus at day 5-8 ?
So when the client is staring at you whilst you are flopping the placenta out and trying to work out if anything is missing - I'm sure you will do yourself proud. Because you have attended 10 or so foalings back when you kinda listened in that prac session.
The actor that portrayed James Herriot in the (other successful) TV series was able to portray more humbleness and empathy than you have shown thus far in your very public display on this forum.
One of the biggest lessons you should have learned as a vet student - is that the more you learn - the more you don't know.
And if you heed that first lesson well - you will be humbled by what you have yet to learn, and this should reflect in your scribblings on this very public forum - whereupon you are broadcasting your dislike of a qualified veterinarian who has made a success of himself.
He shows a humble side that you have yet to achieve.
My practice is a hive of activity and offers many opportunities for students during their various rotations.
We have many very bright and dedicated students from around Australia and OS constantly bombarding us in the hope that they may come and sample the delights of our lifestyle, climate, and hugely varied client base.
Unfortuneately for many - we get to pick and choose our students.
I am sure you will do well in your endeavours.
