Animal Euthanasia vs Physician Assisted Suicide, the Vastness of Veterinary Medicine, and Puppies with Dr. Carling

Today we're joined by Dr. Carling Matejka, a veterinarian in Canada. I want Medspectives to capture all facets of medicine and veterinary medicine is something that I knew nothing about before I talked to Dr. Carling. While in human medicine you just need to focus on humans, for veterinary medicine you need to be able to understand all kinds of different animals, from dogs to cows to snakes to tarantulas. While there are some similarities, there are also a good number of differences, and Dr. Carling discusses her experience from treating dogs in her clinic to treating cows out on the farm. We talk about the concept of euthanasia and draw parallels in human medicine to physician-assisted suicide, and Dr. Carling shares some interesting stories from her time in practice.
