James Heriot Veterinarian Analysis

One major part of all peoples’ lives is health care, without it society would have no way of staying healthy and happy, and people would also have no way of treatment in case of an emergency. This also applies to all the pets’ lives are shared with. A certain profession is also needed to provide this care service for all of the animals. The people responsible for this service are Veterinarians. There is a lot to learn about the career of a veterinarian, including all of the schooling required, what a vet does, all of the advantages as well as the disadvantages, and the future outlook for this career.

And he plays an integral role in keeping farmers’ livestock healthy and their businesses profitable. Dr. Pol works with many 4-H groups and feels every child should grow up with a furry friend. For that reason, he tries to keep pet ownership affordable.From the time he was twelve years old and helped deliver a litter of piglets on his family’s farm to the incredible moments captured on his hit TV show, Dr. Pol has amassed a wealth of stories of what it’s like caring for this menagerie of animals. He shares his own story of growing up surrounded by animals, training to be a vet in the Netherlands, and moving to Michigan to open his first practice in a pre fab house. He has established himself as an empathetic yet no-nonsense vet who isn’t afraid to make the difficult decisions in order to do what’s best for his patients—and their hard-working owners. A sick pet can bring heartache, but a sick cow or horse could threaten the very livelihood of a farmer whose modest profits are dependent on healthy livestock.Dr. Pol has rescued several Great Danes, rabbits, emus, and even a cow that he helped raise with his

The work environment in Vet Tech is stressful. In a Vet clinic, illnesses and injuries are more common in Vet Tech. One has to be able to handle being kicked, bitten, scratched, etc when holding, cleaning, or restraining an animal. Try to avoid getting injuries while working in a Vet. Watch for body language in an animal and have proper restraint techniques. To avoid illnesses, the Vet Tech should follow safety procedures. Illnesses can be caused by these things since they would be around them most of the time; Needles, bodily fluids, radiation and other potentially hazardous substances. (“How to Become a Vet Tech”).

I chose the career of a Vet Technician. This job is often confused with the veterinarian or veterinary technologist. These two fields are totally different than a vet technician. Veterinarian required eight years of schooling, where the Veterinary technologist requires a bachelor degree in applied science. The job of an veterinary technician is to provide nursing care and assist surgeries for animals. Think of it as a human nurse, and a doctor, the vet tech assist the veterinarian in diagnosing illness and injuries. Some other jobs a veterinary technician might have would be preparing an animal for a surgery like a scrub with germicidal soap, sterilizing the surgical utensils, setting up a room

Ever since I was little I was told that I was going to be a veterinarian. Well not quite I think vet tech is more of my area. I love animals they amaze me, and I love dogs the most.

Animal rights is a revolutionary idea that has been rising ever recently, since African-Americans and women both have rights now. This topic is argued in both Michael Pollan’s “An Animal’s Place,” where the modern hippy suggests that animals are mistreated and that organic farming is the best method of farming, as well as Blake Hurst’s “An Omnivore’s Delusion: Against the Agri-Intellectuals,” where the sass-mouth, Midwestern, pissy-pants farmer who assures the reader that there is nothing wrong with the way that farming is being handled in America. While these points are very contrasting, both authors strive to prove that their way is the “right” way.

I will make sure that the animals and the clients get the kind of care

However, their ultimate goals differ greatly from one another, in the way that Singer’s proposition would only add to the overpopulation problem that Hardin wants to avoid. If we were to take consideration of the vast animal population this new approach would only further deplete the commons Hardin wants to so desperately conserve. Hardin explains that, “A finite world can support only a finite population; therefore, population growth must eventually equal zero” (30). In Singer’s world, this finite population just grew exponentially. Given that animals tend to breed much quicker than humans, how could we ever keep up with their ever-growing demand? Furthermore, Hardin and Singer deviate from one another in their approach of trying to persuade the views of their readers. Singer explains in great detail the mistreatment of animals in farms and testing laboratories, this approach clearly uses imagery as a way to appeal to his readers through ethos. Hardin does not worry about appealing to the feelings of his reader, nor does he care whether his audience is insulted by his blunt and extreme views about society. While Singer is well-known for deliberately provoking his audience, it is very evident in his writing that he cares deeply for the lives of animals. He reasons that the mere fact that animals can feel pain is reason alone to consider them part of our society, this shows a deep emotional bond to

“From time to time they got in trouble with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, whose sometimes overzealous members decided the horses were being mistreated. At such times the SPCA would send a veterinarian to examine them. Each time the vet gave them a clean bill of health. The usual conclusion was that he had never seen healthier, more beautifully kept animals in his life. (Webster-Carver, A Girl and Five Brave Horses)”(Todd).

To eat or not to eat, is that really the question? One devoted rancher/essayist, Linda Hasselstrom, confronts this very idea in her essay from the book, 80 Readings for Composition. The piece was written in 1991, titled “The Cow versus the Animal Rights Activist,” during a time when ranchers and the meat industry were under fire by both animal activists for the inhumane treatment of cattle and by environmentalists for the immense amounts of energy waste and pollution. Hasselstrom uses pertinent substance, though sometimes bias, to shed light on the misconceptions about ranchers and their place in the cattle industry. She aims to unite the concerns of the activists on the side of the ranchers so they can work together

“Eating Animals is Making us Sick” is written by Jonathan Safran Foer. In this article, the author makes a connection between a number of antibiotics given to animals, and the sicknesses that plague the human population. The author wants the audience to recognize that the common practice of factory farming is loosely regulated. Because of this loose regulation, farmers are allowed to immunize their animals and treat their animals to unhealthy extremes. This treatment leads to antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. The author, Jonathan Safran Foer, successfully uses pathos, ethos, and logos to argue that the treatment and the enormous amount of drugs being pumped into livestock have major effects on the audience's health.

The American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, American College of Poultry Veterinarians, the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, and the American College of Zoological Medicine are all able to certify veterinarians. However, certification is not required, unlike licensing. Licensing, including the D.V.M., can be obtained from the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE), which is organized by the National Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. Every state varies in their ruling towards a person applying to take the NAVLE. Many states have additional requirements for veterinarian licensing whether it is for an exotic or companion veterinarian.

You have a lot of heroic veterinarian doctors who see the intrinsic value in saving the lives of animals. One doctor, in particular, even performs on wild, injured animals that he meets. In fact, he has performed miracles on pets who were otherwise paralyzed. Dr. Evan Antin, a man who has dedicated his life to helping and understanding the endangered and most exotic animals, has gone somewhat viral on the Internet, but it has been for a more curious reason than what you might expect.

After interviewing Dr. Jess our family vet, I discovered that you can get into vet school right off the bat, but it’s extremely difficult to get in due to the fact that less than 50% of applicants are accepted, therefore many receive their undergrad before vet school. Dr. Jess also told me lots on what veterinarians truly do. One negative I discovered is that there is lots of record writing and talking amongst the owner of the pet, and not as much hands on activity with the animals-- meaning lots of desk work which goes against my value of adventure. This is due to the fact that it’s important to educate people who are caring for their pets at home. But, one positive is that there is a lot less stress in this job, due to the fact that you are around animals that are scientifically proven to lower stress levels. Dr. Jess also said that one of the biggest reasons she loves her jobs is that helping animals actually makes a difference especially in the community, because it makes people happy. One thing Dr. Jess really emphasized was that you have to take a wider view upon the animal, and that you don’t just fix him or her up. You have to teach a client how to do things properly at home, in order to prevent future illnesses and or injuries. The profession of veterinary medicine involves so much more than just medicine, it’s a job of passion love and

I stumbled across the book All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot quite by chance. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book because the cover and the name itself never appealed me. I started out on this book just to kill time but in the end, I immensely enjoyed it. While reading this book I got indulged into the magical and memorable world of James Herriot and his salad of heartwarming, funny and tragic patients. This memoir of James Herriot also flashes the simple and laid back lives of the countryside folks. It exhibits their struggles, cultures, etiquette, hardships and relationships. Surprisingly for me , I found this book to be “overwhelmingly pleasant” as I wasn 't interested in it at first. Reading this book gives me that warm and realistic feeling. The stories that are depicted in this book is loosely based on Herriot 's life as a young veterinarian in the rough English countryside pre-WWII. There he encounters many different people and animals from dogs and cats to livestock.
