Practicing Your Knowledge

This post asked us to go and get hands on experience in our field. I have previously helped my hometown vet so I'm just relying on my work there and I didn't have time to go to the MSU vet and get further experience. While I was helping my vet around his office with handling papers and feeding and watering the patients, I also got the chance to shadow in on a surgery. Yeah, it was a simple neutering process but I was able to witness all the goes on and it was amazing. How it differed from just reading about the process online was in the intensity you felt in the room. You also got to see the vet techs hand over the tools and adjust the oxygen mask or just little things that if you're not there to witness you don't even think they go on..

  1. I have the similar experience about that, but mine is not so --. Before taking photo by using my DSLR camera, I read some from internet or books. However, when I did it, it all changed. Focusing manually, I tried it tens of times, and can focusing on the place I want. On paper, they are easy, but on hand, they are hard. So, I found that, no matter how good we are in exams, it cannot replace a point of the real experiences.
