Sorry that I haven't updated this section in awhile but school has been very difficult. Both last week and this week's case has dealt with the musculoskeletal system of the dog and cat which basically means that I need to know every bone, muscle (superficial and deep) and their origin, insertion, action and innervation (the nerve supply). And if that isn't enough we are also supposed to know the histology, physiology and pathophysiology of bone growth and repair. Oh and I forgot to mention the pharmokinetics involved in this area and the surgical approaches. So you can see why I have been too busy to write.
I think that I have learned more in the first 2 weeks of veterinary school then I did during my 4 years of undergrad. A lot of people have already had breakdowns but no one has dropped out. I usually get to campus between 8 or 9 am and stay until the veterinary building closes at midnight.
To get my mind off of vet stuff, I am learning Spanish by listening to a CD on my drive to and from school. Here's a glimpse of what I've learned so far: Hablo castellano un poco.
