Dog Doctors or Cat Doctors?

[Python Forever]

Members don't see this ad.

If cats and dogs could be doctors, would you rather be treated by a Dr. Doggo or a Dr. Kitteh? I would personally rather be examined by a fluff boi than a kitter.

A cat will be honest and yet warm and fluffy.
A dog will just tell you what you want hear.

 

[Catalystik]

Cats rule. Dogs drool.

Idk, I would rather let a good boi tell me I have stage 4 cancer than a cold, calculating kitteh. I feel like the cat will just be like, "you have cancer," and knock whatever I'm holding out of my hands.

The cat looks cold and aloof.

The dog looks kind and "a woof".

I’d rather have a cat. At least my samples would get to the lab and wouldn’t be eaten on the way, unlike with dr doggo.

 

[Musculo]

I’d rather Dr. Doggie. Dr. Kitty’s clinic is probably only going to be open from midnight to 7am.

Hopefully no doctor is taking your samples to that lab, human, cat, or dog....We have people with high school diplomas and bachelors degrees for that...

Although, Dr. Cat definitely has more needlelike claws. Maybe cat would be a better nurse or phleb?

I still take some samples to path...

To path. McKay, I can accept path. I was thinking of blood draws and ‘the lab’ not histo.

 

[907914]

Back on track, I would prefer Dr. Doge, who cares about getting the correct diagnosis. Bedside manner is all the rage nowadays.

Touche! It has been a while since I've taken blood or urine samples to the lab.

 

[deleted889094]

I think I'd opt for the Kitteh Doctors. I hear homeowpathic medicine is all the rage

*Shields head from projectiles*

 

[capri1722]

Dr. Doggo would have better bedside manner, I think.

 

[differentiating]

Cat doctor all the way.

1. Most doctors I know are basically cats in human form.
2. Dogs can’t diagnose you, but catscan. 😉

There's an unhealthy cat obsession on this forum.


All I can say is my cat is the spawn of satan and all the scars on my body from only a year of having him make me question my choices every day.

So they healed to scars and you didn’t die of nosocomial infection? Sounds like a successful surgeon

Dogtor ftw

Too much cat bias in this thread

Dogs no question

Right except they trained dogs to detect prostate cancer from urine samples. Cats ain't got **** on that.

And here I am, working in a urology clinic running PSAs and my university lab trying to create an rna urine prostate cancer detection kit.

 

[Doctor-S]

Doctor Cat all the way ... paw-sitively! >^..^<

I have little doubt that cats can also do that. They just can’t be bothered to make it known.

Cat doctors won't eat the vomit of patients.

 

[Python Forever]

Let's face it, asking cats or dogs is like asking pineapple or no pineapple on a pizza. Clearly one is the superior choice, and we all know which. 😉

Cats can barely smell their way out of a paper bag.

 

[Podstar]

Easy, Dr. Dog reporting for duty!

 

[Rachapkis]

For surgery, I would prefer the razor sharp talons and cool and calculating manner of Dr. Katenstien, but for for my PMP, I would prefer the kindly Dr. Labradoodle.

 

[Goro]

Doctor Kitty will groom herself before she sees a patient, and will not roll around in the patient's excrement, either.

Pineapple!

I fear that this thread topic will cause far more angst and ire than even DO vs MD, doctors vs midlevels and URM vs no-URM policy threads.

But which is better, Katz’s Deli or Doggy’s Hot Dogs

Is this something that only New Yorkers or Phillys or Las Angelenos or wherever they are from know?

I had to google lol but Katz is in Manhatten and Doggy is in CA.

Us in Philly are all about the almighty cheesesteak.

And that’s why Dr. Cat misses diagnoses. She’s afraid to get her paws dirty.

Katz’s is a famous Jewish deli in NY. It’s amazing.

Are you from Philly? I’m from SJ but have lived in Philly too.

“From philly” but yes, close enough! Haha

 

[Osminog]

I hear feline ophthalmologists are great at performing cat-aract surgery.

 

[907914]

It was more just a katz dog joke. Speaking of that the other day it was raining cats and dogs and I stepped into a big poodle

Better a poodle than slipping on some mutt.

That was such s new yorkie comment

You seem a little sad about it, do you need a pug? Or should we go down to the dachshund talk about it?

Cats are surgeons, dogs are medicine.

From a personality stand point, I always felt it was the opposite. Surgical types are what I've always called "high energy dogs" to borrow the phrase of Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer (Not getting into his training methods here). Medical types tend to be more introverted like cats. More methodical and lower energy.

The surgical types always seem more up for throwing a ball around after a a string of 16 hr days in the OR. If that isn't dog like, I don't know what is.

If you're ever on medicine rounds, while there's a lot of calculating, I feel like looking around it looks like anyone is ready for a nap at any given time. Much more sedate crew. If that isn't cat-like (calculating and nap preparedness), not sure what is.

 

[JustPaws]

Don't have to get your patient's internal parasite to diagnose it what are they teaching you at that med school? Ask for a refund

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

Tell that to my cat, who somewhat regularly eats his cat sibling's vomit 🙄

Cats have a very acute sense of smell.

 

[battie]

Dr. Pupper cause he won't make me sneeze.

 

[differentiating]

Cats are surgeons, dogs are medicine.

I’d amend this to “cats are specialists, dogs are primary care”.

I am 100% a cat in human form, but you couldn’t pay me enough to do surgery.

Cat. I don't want my orthopedic surgeon burying my cracked femur in his yard for later

You’d rather him hack up a hairball in your open wound?
