What I Learned This Week. FRANK Communication training →. May 31, 2012 · 2:05 am. Treat the patient, not the numbers. Photo Credit: Lewis Cole. I remember in vet school, one of the clinical instructors said, “Treat the patient, not the numbers.” One of our patients was a miniature schnauzer with pure red cell aplasia–her bone marrow wasn’t making red blood cells. Her hematocrit hovered around 8%! Her final hematocrit was 5%.). For me, it’s probably once a month or so? Filed under General medicine. Then t...

Videos related to pain management. Treat the patient, not the numbers →. May 26, 2012 · 3:27 am. What I Learned This Week. Here’s a sampling of what I learned this week:. Chameleons can’t convert beta-carotene to vitamin A. There’s some kind of freeze-dried diet of cactus fruit for tortoises–cool! Necropsy on a 5-year old guinea pig revealed a large tumor inside her uterus–never seen something quite like that before. Over the past several weeks, I’ve had a crash-course in. Pages 270-276, October 2011.

Still kicking–sort of | thelearningvet

Reflecting on the past year and choosing my three words for next year. January 1, 2014 · 5:58 am. Still kicking–sort of. Last year at this time, I chose three words to guide me in 2013: Listen. Organize. Energize. Here’s the truth: I think I failed on all three fronts. I couldn’t even remember what my three words were until I looked at them just moments ago. Part of me thinks perhaps I should not choose three words for next year, but what if that’s the beginning of the end? Or am I becoming complacent?

Still kicking–sort of →. January 1, 2013 · 3:24 am. Reflecting on the past year and choosing my three words for next year. Each year, instead of a New Year’s Resolution, I choose three words to help guide my decisions and how I live my life. Last year at this time, I was holding a brand new baby in my arms, and the words I chose to guide the oncoming year reflected my deep sense of commitment to her and my family: Nurture the future. I announced my plans to step down as president of a non-profit organiza...

The best laid plans… | thelearningvet

Friday the 13th →. July 1, 2012 · 2:53 am. The best laid plans…. Excited to practice my new communication skills (see my recent post about the FRANK Communication Workshop. I attended), I picked up the phone to dial my 4:30 consultation about some rabbits. The client lived far away and had questions regarding her “herd” of about 100 rabbits (started as a 4-H project). The staff had warned me this would be a challenging conversation. I could have set the phone down, walked away for 5-10 minutes, come back...

Treat the patient, not the numbers. The best laid plans… →. June 28, 2012 · 4:10 am. A dream of mine came true today: I attended the first day of the Pfizer FRANK Communication workshop! It’s a 1.5 day workshop, and today was Day 1. Somehow, I missed the advance reading assignment, so I was worried I would feel behind. Fortunately, the Frank presentation Dr. Holzhauer had brought to our hospital had prepared me well, and I’m interested enough in this stuff that I had already read one book (. There were s...

The best laid plans…. Reflecting on the past year and choosing my three words for next year →. July 24, 2012 · 2:40 am. Some days, it feels like nothing goes as planned. Friday the 13th was one of those days. My schedule included two prophys, a dog and a cat. I also agreed to radiograph two raptors for Operation Wildlife. I thought I might actually have some time to catch up on some projects. Just when I thought I should go to lunch, we had an urgent care exam walk in: a 10 lb Pomeranian that had been pi...
