[bunnies-at-midnight]

our radiology instructor brought in cardboard boxes for us to x-ray and see what the surprise inside of each was. simultaneously demonstrating the need for multiple angles when imaging.

anyway, so we x-ray the final box and it’s a glove. the glove is filled with… a liquid. she has us guess what the liquid is.

“lactated ringers” no

“water” no

“milk..” …no

“pee..” no!

it was a contrasting fluid used in certain types of radiography. she was introducing it to us in a fun way and we had the audacity to guess that she filled a glove with milk or PISS???

Spent the whole afternoon at A&E and now all I can think about is Hospital AU Bakusquad…

Kirishima is in paediatrics.

A giant of a man, who everyone assumes (or hopes) is a physio or maybe even cardiology, but is most often seen with his hair in odd pigtails or butterfly clips, the tattoos on his forearms partially coloured in with bold felt tip. His mega-watt smile and calm, protective demeanour has both kids and parents seeking out his warmth and it isn’t uncommon to hear calls asking when ‘Dr Ei’ is going to be back on the ward. His office is littered with drawings from his patients and thank you cards from their parents - and it isn’t uncommon to see the odd scrawled phone number appear on the edge of a post it note that has somehow found its way into the pocket of his scrubs or coat.

Kaminari is a radiology tech.

He specialised because he thought he’d have a higher chance of seeing tits in his day-to-day work life, but stayed when he discovered his unexpected talent of reading radiographs. He’s got an eye for it, a weird knack that has his final year professor outright refusing to let him pivot to midwifery or plastics. He doesn’t mind so much these days. He’s the life of the department, with an easy going charisma that lures his, often anxious, patients back to relative calm and a manner that makes him more than approachable. ‘Ask Kaminari’ are often the first words spoken in front of a grainy X-Ray, his name the first on patients lips who have been seen by him before.

Mina is a specialist paramedic.

Trained to the highest level alongside Bakugo in med school, Mina decided surgery was just a little too detached for her liking - choosing instead to be the front line for those in an emergency. She likes the rush, the adrenaline filled afternoons that rely on her quick thinking and flawless bedside manner, but she also likes the breaks. Some of her favourite rides are booked appointments ferrying over the resident old dear for her routine CT scan and she’s a favourite amongst the frequent riders. The urgent care staff love her, knowing that they’re getting the best possible hand off when they see her bubblegum curls bounce through the doors, gloved hands gripping the stretcher as she reels off seamless histories and reassurances.

Sero is in orthopedics.

Having undergone his own elbow arthroplasty as a young adult, he knew exactly what he wanted to specialise in even before he started his first year of rotations. By his graduation, he had co-published a series of papers, pioneering a new innovative surgical fix for adolescent joint restoration that involved a veterinary technique using medical grade fishing wire. Despite this, he is humble to his core and steadfastly patient focuses where others may have sought out further research possibilities. His youthful demeanour makes him popular, despite his shyness, oh, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s absolutely smoking hot (and oblivious) either.

Bakugo is an ER Doctor.

It was certain that Bakugo was going far. Graduating top of his class, it was a sure thing that he would become one of the leading surgeons of his generation… Only for him to join the emergency department instead. Longing for a challenge, there are no safer hands in the department than his. Called in for the more harrowing and difficult cases, what he lacks in bedside manner is made up for easily in skill. He is blunt in demeanour and easy to anger, but ask any of the nurses in A&E and they’ll tell you all of that vanishes as soon as a child walks through the door. He has a cult following among the staff, nurses who long to crack his impenetrable shell and get to the gooey stuff they know is underneath and who can blame them? They’ve seen him shirtless in the overnight rooms.

Might seem like a weird question but do you think it's wrong for a vet to specialize in a single species? I told a friend I wanted to specialize in cats and they called me rude for "not thinking about all the other small animals" :/

Not at all! This is a hot topic for me, so prepare for a long reply ;)

For context: A veterinarian can work on multiple species (everything, mixed small & exotics, mixed small & large, mixed equine & livestock, etc.), single species (equine only, dairy cow only, feline only etc.), industry (FDA, research, agriculture, department of health, etc.), a single specialty (neurology, soft tissue surgery, emergency medicine, cardiology, internal medicine, radiology, etc.), or they can do some blend over their life time. There's a million ways to work with a DVM. Some people specialize in one species or field and some don't.

The reason people specialize is because they are more comfortable or confident in one species versus another, or they have a strong interest in that species or field. That makes them better at the job they want to do in our field. They have decided to fill a particular need and be the best they can in that aspect of veterinary medicine.

I wouldn't see a small animal GP for my horses and vice versa. In the same way, cats are complicated. If you can become an excellent doctor working on cats and really developing your knowledge in that area? You are an asset to cat owners everywhere.

Along those lines: What about doctors who go on to specialize in neurology or surgery? What about the doctor who decides to specialize in large animal medicine instead of totally mixed practice?

Personally, I'm planning on working almost exclusively on horses with some small ruminant. I like cats, but dogs scare me. What good does it do for me to work on a species that declines my health to be with everyday? I have the potential to be an excellent equine doctor, but if someone told me I was required to work on dogs because I had to think of all of the species? I wouldn't enjoy my work and I wouldn't be as effective as a doctor. I'm better at equine medicine than I am at canine medicine. I know this, so I'm planning to work where I excel and can do best by people and their animals.

We learn a lot about diversifying our interests and keeping our options open in school, and I would recommend doing that. You never know if your mind will change, and having the basics to go off of for the major species is good to have. It will especially help for taking the NAVLE in fourth year. A broad basis will make you a better doctor in the long run outside of school just because it gives you more knowledge to work with.

But that being said, play to your strengths. If you love cats and want to work on them? Do that. If I love horses and want to be an equine practioner? Then that's what I should do. This profession is full of options and directions and niches. You will serve animals just as well in one place as another so long as you do work that fulfills you. There's a need for veterinarians everywhere, there's aspects of every species that are hard, and there's nothing wrong with picking one and getting really good at it.

Only you can decide what it is about veterinary medicine that fulfills your calling. We're all made different for a reason. Pigeon holing ourselves into someone else's idea of what it means to be a veterinarian will only ever make us upset and uncomfortable in our own lives. I'd rather be in this profession for 40 years than burn-out after 4, you know?

If you want to be a feline only vet and strive for excellence in that area? Go for it! You will not be any less of a doctor, I promise.

Guinevere running normally, with full extension

Guinevere running injured, holding her shoulders tensed, short extension

In re: that Crufts agility dog that was so obviously pained--

I didn't get many photos of Guinevere when she was first injured. That whole open heart surgery thing. But that pained Crufts agility dog was moving *just* like Injured Guinevere: tight jerky motions of the forelegs, flatter motion overall, restricted foreleg extension, hesitating before any harder landing on her forelegs.

When Guinevere showed symptoms we got x-rays with our vet immediately; no clear answers. She got worse; we took her to the university vet hospital. First Emergency (6 weeks crate rest), then Neuro, we got her ALL the diagnostics. She had an MRI. They couldn't find anything in radiology. They really, really wanted to tell me that it was all behavioral. I insisted we keep trying.

So they reluctantly referred me to a weirdly titled department and said, "they do more with joints, maybe they can help". I was doubtful but I got there to discover IT'S FREAKING PT/REHAB. I didn't even know there WAS a veterinary rehab group, why did they disguise the name?? We would have taken Guinevere there immediately for PT back in Oct, while also pursuing a diagnosis.

But further, the PT/REHAB vet was able to diagnose Guinevere immediately with laxity of joints and palpable shoulder subluxation; the poor kid's got a connective tissue disorder, and it's just as difficult to get diagnosed in dogs as it is in people 🙃

And until then, every specialist we saw wanted to call it "behavioral." (Everybody remember the Internal Med specialist who did the CT in April? He didn't want to do diagnostics, he just wanted to send her to a behaviorist.) Even the Emergency department thought her shyness--freezing up in a strange place for strangers--meant it was all attention-getting behavior at home, not truly pain.

So yeah. I am not surprised that the dog at Crufts was labeled "behavioral" too. Whether the dog has been through diagnostics or not, this is apparently the new thing.

Rescue dog? Maybe a little shy? Mystery pain? Nah, it's just behavioral. It's the new "I don't immediately recognize your symptoms, so I diagnose 'anxiety' even though the psychs say there's no anxiety, enjoy your poisoned medical records."
