In recent times, I saw many posts in facebook and many incidences in different cities and I couldn't stop myself from posting this. A Veterinarian is a General Physician, Gynaecologist, Dermatologist, Paediatrician, Pathologist, Bacteriologist, Virologist, Anaesthetist, Radiologist, General Surgeon, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Neurologist, Oncologist, Opthalmologist and many of Cow, Buffalo, Goat, Sheep, Dog, Cat, Horse, Camel, Rabbit, Hen, Pet birds, all wild life specieses etc. Moreover, he is a Nutritionist, Poultry specialist, Wild life worker Food technologist, Extension Worker, Researcher, Administrator etc.
I don't want to prove that a Veterinarian knows everything but every body should feel that it is not that easy to remember all these subjects inside a single brain and to apply them in practical field. Do you expect a human Dermatologist to perform an intramedullary pinning or any other Orthopaedic surgery??? Or a human Nutritionist to perform an Eye Surgery or a Caesarian Section?? OR will you visit an Anaesthetist for a Chemotherapy?? A Veterinarian have to attend all the diseases in Rat to Elephant and also have to fight with deadly Zoonotic diseases like Avian influenza, Anthrax etc. Sometimes people present patients in so bad condition that becomes very difficult to cure. Some diseases like Parvo Virus, CD, ICH, IRT, Panleukopenia, BQ, Anthrax, Tetanus, RD, DP, PPR, severe brain injury, Renal failure, Cardiac arrest, Severe injury from road accidents and so many are almost non-curable. But we used to say that the Veterinarian killed my dog !!! Sometimes we used to say that the Veterinarian has done a wrong treatment !!! Is it possible by an Animal lover or owner to know this vast science to judge a Veterinarian !!! It really hurts when you cure more than 1000 patients and you are blammed only if 1 or 2 expires which were in bad condition. Veterinarians are not God that they will cure everything.
I love my profession and I am proud to be a Veterinarian. My appeal to all Veterinarian to serve this profession with PRIDE and with KINDNESS and LOVE to animals. We should correct the faults and miss arrangements at our end and upgrade our KNOWLEDGE and SKILL day by day. My appeal to all Animal lovers/ owners, please trust your Veterinarian and keep faith on Science. Please don't Google Medical or Veterinary Science, it is not one liner, it is detailed, explanatory and comparative science. veterinary surgeon
