Mixed Blessing

I love being a veterinarian - it's such a varied and diverse career. This is almost always a good thing. It means I don't get bored; it means I always have new and challenging cases presented to me; it means there's always something new to learn and accomplish, and fascinating articles to read, and new studies to keep up-to-date on.

Of course, it also means that there are days when I open the mail and find things like this week's professional journal, which happens to be the 'Maggots, Giant Spiders, and Parasites' issue.

Not the best bedside reading, to be certain....
