Overheard in vet school
"Eating dark chocolate chip gelato out of urine cup with tongue depressor = awesome!!!" - 4th year student on clinical rotation
"I think blood tests should work like this. My cholesterol level will be determined by the jury to be whatever is usual and customary for a person of my age and sex." - 3rd year student in veterinary law class
The rest of these are from various ophthalmology professors.
"Put the fun back into the fundus."
"Throughout the course of your career, if you choose to remain competent… well, it is a choice…"
"Yeah, this slide doesn't really have a lot to do with what we’re talking about."
On nasal puncta and the lacrimal drainage system: "That's why, if you cry - I personally don’t cry, being a man - I cry sometimes on the inside, not on the outside - but for those of you who do cry, that’s why you get a sniffly nose."
"If you can examine the fundus, the fundus can examine YOU."
There's a gorgeous tiger on the PowerPoint slide. "Can anyone guess why I have this picture here? … There’s really no reason. I just liked the picture."
"What percentage of [corneal] ulcers do veterinarians get to see? I lie awake at night thinking about this."
"Rub with a soaked cotton tipped applicator for 45 minutes -- this is why you have residents."
(Don't think too hard about the word "ophthalmology" with that one. Oh, too late?)
"Herpes: It's not just for cats any more."
