That Vet Life

As vet students we are always looking to gleam information about vet school and practice from upperclassmen and graduates. Thankfully the vets we look up to are always willing to share their insider secrets to surviving and thriving during the years of vet school and beyond. I had such a wonderful time in today's episode chatting with Dr. Ross Henderson. A veterinarian at his family practice in Colorado, Ross earned his undergraduate degree from Colorado State University, followed by his Vet Degree at the Royal (dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, Scotland. Listen along as Ross shares the lessons he's learned thus far in his veterinary career, as well as some wonderful stories from his time in the UK and on EMS placements. A huge thank you to Dr. Henderson for taking the time to chat, and thanks to y'all for following along in the journey.

No special guest this episode. Sorry y'all. Instead I present to you a short blog post I wrote during my first year of vet school. Due to the response I received when I first wrote it I felt this was the perfect time to talk about it again. Hope you enjoy.
