Baxter Black: The state of veterinary medicine

I’ve been pondering the state of veterinary medicine in the new millennium. These subjects deserve deeper thought or at least a master’s degree thesis:

• Why a barber and a surgeon should never say, “Oops!”
• The plethora of chickens and the dearth of poultry practitioners
• The value of veterinarians in the war against bioterrorism
• Is there a place for grooming in an exclusively reptile veterinary practice?
• Recipes for traditionally inedible species
• What do you think of men in veterinary medicine? A thing of the past?
• How to deal with barn-sour children?
• The future of leather shoes, purses and seat covers made of doghide
• The new prestige of meat inspection veterinarians
• The value of Chinese herbal medicine in non-Oriental species
• What do you think of homeopathic cures for baldness, dandruff and dog ticks?
• Body piercing in veterinary medicine – fashion statement or cruelty?
• Humane euthanasia techniques in an insect veterinary practice – squash or spray?
• The use of wood chippers in poultry euthanasia
• How veterinary school affected your eating habits
• Acupuncture in marine mammals — does blubber affect the meridians?
