Dear Ferret Folks- Yesterday, someone wrote: >Veterinarians do not have ALL the answers and are only PRACTICING >medicine. They can only offer their educated opinions or guesses >based upon their own experiences or exposure... Hmmm. Let's consider this statement...My Mom has been PRACTICING medicine as a physician for quite some time. She does indeed offer her educated opinions or guesses based upon her experiences or exposure, which in *her* case would include twelve years of primary education,(heavy emphasis on chemistry and biology), Harvard, four years of medical school, one of internship, three as a resident at the Mayo Clinic, and twenty two more of seeing patients on a near daily basis while earning a full professorship in her field and running an electromyography clinic. But for God's sake, if you need a Neurologist, give her a miss and chew a raw chicken wing immediately. Doctors 'll kill you. Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 6616]
