Every day clients hand me pieces of paper from their vet and say, Mimi, can you put this in English. When I was in practice, one of the most entertaining things was when people would come in spouting medical terms. For some reason, if they looked it up on the internet or read it in a book, they new as much as someone who spent years in school. Nine times out of ten they had absolutely no idea what they were saying yet alone what it meant. They also had no idea how or what parts were connected to what and what each part played upon the other. However they could parrot just about anything. Truly, we spend years in school and many people the first few years are still walking around mumbling to themselves. The next few links will highlight some of the common verbiage you will run into only this time in English. Over the next few weeks, I will continue to add more medical issues.

So, time to crack the e-book and mystify your vet the next time these things come up leaving he or she wondering how you knew what exactly did what.
