Fantastic session at @VetEd2023 on using observational drawing for undergraduate veterinary students by Rosie MacDiarmid. So relaxing! Fantastic to see such great initiatives at Liverpool vet school. @LivUni_IVES @LivUni. Disclaimer - I did not draw the excellent skull!

Great equine castrate model by Dr H Braid this afternoon, achievable, economically viable, sharing resources - this is what the VetEd event is about 👌 #veted2023 @VetEd2023

@CormarCarpets Hi - our three year old carpet has a defect. I have made three attempts to contact your customer service team over the last month and have received no reply. Please can you look into this? I’ve tried marketing@cormarcarpets.co.uk and the website contact form.

Goddamn guinea pig has given me ringworm. Zoonoses are real, people. Now to avoid my GP and attempt to treat it myself using medicines licensed for dogs and cats….. like a proper vet. 😂 #vettwitter #BloodyGuineaPigs #ringworm

@BrownHospMed I’ll never forget one of our microbiology lecturers telling us this useful life tip: “if you ever go to someone’s house and they offer you home canned or jarred food, go to the bathroom, open the window, climb out and run away”.

Really shocked by this opinion piece in @Vet_Record - culling by essentially cooking animals alive seems to be permitted in US farming. Any vets across the pond care to comment? Is this as common as Dr K suggests? What can we do to help stop it? @ucdavisvetmed #vettwitter #vetmed

@LDellas @Anonyvet I complimented them on the diet they’d implemented and how much weight it’d lost. Evidently the conversation worked, just a shame it upset them!

Client: I’m so sorry that I’ve had to change vets, I really liked the last one but I just felt they didn’t GET me! Me: *scans history* And your last vet? Client: Oh, absolute rubbish. But you seem great! Spoiler alert. It was me. I was her last vet! #vettwitter #vetmed

@Anonyvet Disclaimer - I am incredibly recognisable. I also try really really hard not to offend clients with the overweight conversation but evidently my communication needed work that day!

@Anonyvet I had one once where the client described being really offended that the last vet told them that their horse was overweight. They’d asked for me instead because the other vet upset them so much. I checked the records. I was that vet. For some reason they didn’t recognise me.

@GetSet_Vet Pretty sure the fastest and only route into those things is to give them to a toddler to open.

@txdvm1 Fellow vet vs medic, but if a client came back to me and said they weren’t happy with their referral and wanted a second opinion, I wouldn’t be offended and would gladly refer them elsewhere.

Okay, #medtwitter, ? from a fellow heath professional. #How do I go about getting a second opinion? Had a telemed appt today with a specialist that lasted 14 min. She asked a few questions, dx me with a lifelong disease, rx’d 2 meds, and did no counseling.
