Or I am the only hippy on SDN pre vet?
It sure is. I'm still not positive whether the post is asking whether there are other SDNers interested in holistic medicine or whether there are Portland SDNers. "Hippie" doesn't exactly make it clear which group you're talking about...PS, Portland is an excellent city to host such a conference.
Portland has some amazing foods.
Eat all the foods while you are there.
Cool, I'll look for it next time I visit. Haha I should have just googled it, but I didn't realize it would be named that simply.The Grilled Cheese Grill has a few locations (and has vegan options!), but if you're with others that want other options, check out the food truck pods downtown. I think theirs is around SW 10th and Washington.
And back to the original reason for this thread, I second the question about needing to be a SAHVMA member to attend? Or is there anyway for pre-vetties to attend?
For anyone interested in "alternative" medicine, AKA ridiculous nonsense sold by con artists and anti-science profiteers, I'd highly recommend http://skeptvet.com/Blog/

It's cute how you alternative medicine evangelists always think you're so right-on for being "open-minded." Open-minded about what? Killing patients and conning clients by advocating disproven therapies? To believe in alternative medicine is to reject the germ theory of disease (you might remember reading about that being kind of a big deal), not to mention rejecting every single thing scientists have ever learned about chemistry, physics, and biology. It's depressing that so many kids who believe in this nonsense manage to sneak their way through biomedical programs without learning a single thing. People who believe in alternative medicine should have their degrees rescinded and banned from pretending to be doctors.
Wow, I completely disagree. I have seen many patients fail to respond to conventional medical treatments/therapies, and thrive after being treated with holistic/alternative therapies. Obviously this is not the case for all patients, but it is awesome to see the improvement. I would lose the attitude quick because alternative medicine is becoming more popular in vet med, esp in the equine racing industry.It's cute how you alternative medicine evangelists always think you're so right-on for being "open-minded."
