Just a few more days of freedom. Winter break has flown by pretty quickly, as I suspected it probably would. Wednesday I was able to follow Dr. Brent Reimer, DVM, DACVS, as he went through his day as a surgeon. We saw a few clients, made some phone calls, and started in on the surgeries. The first one was an older golden retreiver with a degernative disease of the cruciate ligament. After lunch we came back and made it through the other three surgeries for the day. The next one was a scope surgery, then a mass removal, and the last one was a bilateral ear canal removal. Pretty cool stuff, if you are in to those types of things like I am.
Yesterday (Thursday) I followed Dr. Nestor again. I finally got to see him do some endoscopic procedures, trying to figure out what was wrong with a couple of dogs. There were also a few ultrasounds, client consults, and patient rechecks. I am hoping to get back down to the clinic to shadow some more, possibly over Spring Break. That would be sometime in March.
Well, Christmas Break is almost over. I start classes again on Monday, just a couple of days from now. Before that, though, I have a couple of shifts to work over at Best Buy. Tomorrow (Saturday) I work 6 hours and Sunday I believe it's eight. Not overworking, but I probably need some sleep in order to function well.
