Dr Swarupmay & friends: would u allow a vet to treat u

Swarupmay Majumdar Can Physicians Who Work on Humans Treat Animals Too?..no!Physicians and veterinarians agree: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and is sick like a duck, it’s best for it to be treated by someone trained to treat a duck.

- Premal Darji i m also fine with it..but human doc doing things on his own is a problm without a vet assist..
  August 25 at 7:53pm ·
- Corinna Giraudi Caplain I agree,but sometimes when there are no vet around a doc can do it as well,in case of necessity!
  August 25 at 7:56pm ·
- Charlotte Milazzo Collaboration is good I think. :)
  August 25 at 7:58pm ·
- Swarupmay Majumdar So if majority accpets that a human doc can help them for their animals, why not merge animal and human medicines together. after all we all most all animals except human beings! it wont be difficult to treat human too!

- Charlotte Milazzo U guys r cracking me up :D mistakes get made in both fields. Idiots come in many professions. I know I ask my dentist questions about new dental plastics to fix bird beaks. Vet. Medicine doesn't care too much about crazy ideas like this. We all have to be pioneers and do our best sometime but know where our ignorance starts. I know I want desperately to pet an elephant but I can't do a lameness exam on one. If my orthopedic human surgeon wants to discuss arthritis I am open to listen. Joints are joints in a lot of cases. :)

- Elena Madgliani i totally agree with a vet who calls a specialist from humans asking about what is new in his domain in order to improove his knowledge and decide what could help the animals that he is treating. vets and physicians should have contacts like that but i dont agree with anything more

- Premal Darji yes was a vet..was amazed with the relaxation i gave him during the surgery ...it was a pyometra case ..everything was swollen so she got confused..
  August 25 at 8:27pm ·
- Naveen Kumar G T Just a question, Is it legal? I think the vet help was around and the vet should have learnt the technique if he wanted to perform laparoscopy. @ Sanam Karunakar- So are you open to the idea that vets too can operate on you? Did u sign the papers that stated ur dog will be operated by a person not qualified to operate on dogs?

- Amardeep Singh one of my junior MVSc Surgery working with johnson & Johnson trains human surgeons in various laparscopic suturing techniques. once he had a training program in Dehradun also which was attended by only one vet, the human surgeons were surprised me there. the more surprising for them was that the person giving training to them was a Veterinarian.
