the art of fainting!!

so, its a brand new yr and i've got nothing to do. mum said to go volunteer at the nearby vet so thát i would gain some experience and knowledge plus that way i won't be lying around complaining i'm bored. so the day before my first day mum called dr. thomas to ask him if i could come hang out at his clininc and see what being a vet is all about. so the next morning i went to the clinic. dr thomas wasnt there yet so i was chatting with dr. cynthia. she's so fun to be with and to talk too. after approximately 15 minutes dr thomas walks in and asks me why i wanted to be a vet. well, i gave the same old ans "because i love animals." he said "most people love animals but that doesnt mean that they're cut out to be vets." oh well, then dr cynthia started her first case, a castration. i was there to view it off course. oh my god!, the ammount of blood that splattered out. gosh....i was hanging in there. the dogs testicles looked like pigeon eggs, or some soughta fish eyeball....well whatever it was, it was disgusting! a juicy piece of info for all the guys. to remove the testicles right, they actually squeezed the dog's balls until the testicle popped out. lolz! human castration would be the same you know. anyways, the sad part was the dog wasn't given enough anaesthesia so he was yelping away. i teared :( so after removing both testicles, dr cynthia was sewing him up. it was such a long process. lets say the average time of a surgery is 15 minutes, the dr spends about 9 minutes sewing up. anyway, so the smell of blood was in the air and my stomach suddenly felt very uncomfortable. my vision was getting blurry and everything in the room started spinning. next thing i know, BANG!!!! i fell down on this metal thing they use to hold drips. "oh my god!! what happened?" cried dr. cynthia. Dr. thomas came rushing in and sprinkled water on my face. then he carried me by my arm and placed me on one of the chairs at his front desk. i tried opening my eyes but the room was still spinning and this made the puking sensation get worse. so i kept my eyes shut and after 5 minutes opened them again. everything was still again. phew....dr. cynthia came out after the op and bought me orange juice to drink. once i was better i went in for the 2nd op of the day, a female dog was gonna have her tiubs tied and ovary removed. thank god i didnt faint this time! i felt much better. wee....I SURVIVED!! so yday i viewed 2 more surgeries. first one, this german shepard had a skin tumour and doc had to remove it, the next was tying of the tiub of a cat. i'm much more comfortable now in the operating theater, so i WON'T BE FAINTING IN 3RD YR VET!! :) anyway ppl, there's an abandoned dalmation in the clinic. 1 yr and 2 months old. owner doesnt want it anymore. anybody who's interested please come buy it. it's only RM400. if the dog doesnt get sold by chinese new yr dr. will have to put it down, because it's taking up space of other sick animals. till my next post!

your fainting queen
