I know very well what is and what is not a carcinogen.
There isn't a lot of medication out for animals so all I am looking for is to see what the majority give their pets for heart worm prevention. If you like Frontline, that is okay - it is your decision and if it works for you, I have nothing against that. Also, my dog is not a lab rat, but thank you for the comparison. |
I see that you are a medical student which is wonderful. Your parents must be very proud of your achievements. Working in the OR with breast surgeons I have seen many Med Students over the years. Med Students have a rough life learning from their superiors as well as staff. There have been many students that stand next to me during surgeries and learn from me by asking questions regarding the procedures they are observing. They ask many questions and I am able to answer them not because I have MD after my name but simply because I've learned by listening, questioning and gaining knowledge from the surgeons that I work with daily. There have been times over the years that I've pulled very nice students aside, explained the procedure and given them the correct answers to what I knew the surgeon would be quizzing them about once he came into the room. I've had surgeons turn to me when the Med Students didnt know the correct answer to their questions and I was able to answer correctly. The point I'm trying to make in telling this to you is that it's the EXPERIENCE that you need to obsorb from the people in the room and not be quick to tell those people to leave. Although we are all sitting behind a computer there are many very intelligent members of this forum that do not speak of their professions and their knowledge base is HUGE! Embrace it instead of fighting it and take that same idea with you learning from everyone as you go. A very wise doctor years ago told the student in his OR this "learn everyone's name, from the cleaning crew all the way up to the Medical Director. They all have pieces of knowledge that will enrich your stay here". It was and still is my favorite surgeon OR suite speech. I can also tell your the Med Students that are not liked are sent out of the room to look for an Otis Elevator......
