| Do you want to know more about infectious diseases in cats? Hero was adopted from the Cat Protection Society almost five years ago. |
If you’re into cats, the Cat Protection Society (NSW) is
hosting a symposium this weekend which is free for those who RSVP.
The symposium, on Saturday April 1 from 10am-12.30pm, will
aim to address important questions like can we vaccinate against cancer? Is there hope
for cats with FIV? Why did we see an outbreak of Feline panleukopaenia Virus in
Sydney and what can we do about it?
The details are:

If you’re into graphic medicine – comics about health,
illness and medicine, this is a fantastic article discussing the use of comics
to articulate the “hidden curriculum”. It shocks me that there remain people
out there who treat interns and residents as lowly slaves yet turn around and
exercise compassion to patients. It’s not something I’ve experienced as a
veterinarian but I’ve heard the odd horror story and we have our own “hidden
curriculum”.
The concept of an elective dedicated to studying graphic
medicine and the human (or non-human as it were) side of veterinary science
really appeals.
I’d love to know from any SAT readers, are you aware of any good “pathographies” of the veterinary or other kind?
Are you aware of veterinarians contributing to graphic
medicine? Drop us a line!
Declaration: I am a supporter of the Cat Protection Society and do some veterinary work for them.
