Veterinary Physiologist Question:

In all reality, I find veterinary medicine to be a more rewarding and fulfilling career path than human medicine. I feel that veterinary medicine is the best of both worlds--as a veterinarian, I will be able to work with both animals and people, and make a difference in the the lives of both. In human medicine, a doctor is limited to just one option--helping humans. I also think that veterinary medicine has some different challenging aspects than human medicine, in that our patients cannot explicitly say what is wrong. Instead, as a veterinarian, I would also be acting as an investigator, putting pieces of the puzzle together from the patient's known medical history, physical symptoms, and any test results that the client agrees to run.
