My Dedication To Veterinary Medicine

I have always been enraptured by animals, and by the logical processes of sciences. Only in the last few years did I begin to connect these passions, leading me to Veterinary Medicine, which I have fallen for.My Dedication To Veterinary Medicine

Touching upon areas such as neurology and immunology in my Biology A-level always triggers my natural curiosity. For instance, cytokines are mentioned so briefly in the specification, but after journalistic research I was interested to learn that cytokine therapy could form a future method of disease control. The idea that we can use research to solve problems in living organisms will always fascinate me. Animal life is a series of beautiful and complex mechanisms, yet Veterinary Medicine enables us to analyze each component.

I have repeatedly encountered this beauty in my work experience over the past year, having been immersed in a working practice environment at a local vets every week, shadowing consults and observing operations. A role in which I felt a great responsibility was the resuscitation of new puppies after cesarean sections, where the fragility of a life was placed in my hands. To see them take their first breath was a huge reward. I also hold a particular fascination for the diagnosis process, for example, in a consult, I saw a dog that had lost all feeling in its leg. It was originally assumed to be a neurological problem, but the dog’s paw was cold, which prompted the vet to change tack and diagnose a circulatory issue.My Dedication To Veterinary Medicine
