Yeah, you're right WTF, many of us on the vet side of things are too touchy.
I don't mind ignorance or digs as much as I used to. I actually think catching flak from med folks is probably good for keeping my ego in check. I mean, one of the (minor) reasons I prefer vet med is because I'd be completely insufferable as a physician. :shudder: I need to trim down my unfortunate tendency toward arrogance and superciliousness, not encourage it!
Also, for jojo:

Finding time while in school to get hours was definitely challenging, that much I'll agree on. If I only had to take classes and get As, it wouldn't have been half as difficult.
