Podcasts about vet medicine

Howdy and so long! We hate to say it, but season 3 is about to be in the rearview mirror. Wow. 3 Seasons. It's incredibly humbling to have been able to make it this far, so let me start off by speaking for both Idiots when I say thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting us then, now, and in the future.  As has become a tradition, we like to end or begin seasons with more lighthearted things, and we brought back Dr. Dean Scott for this season closer, and he bookends the season nicely. We talk all sorts of fictional creatures, some from books suggested to us by the Brain Witch Idiot, and some from Dean's books. These include dragons and griffins from the Empyrian Series (for the love of god, Rebecca Yarros, please don't sue me) and the Harry Potter series (for the love of god, JK Rowling, please learn about love) and critters from Scott's book series "The Dragon Vet" and "The Half-Life of Grief". Everything Scott writes is amazing, please, check him out, but check out our second conversation with him. Then, inbetween waiting for next season to drop and re-listening to our entire back log and listening to Cory Johnson and the Broken Nightscape's musical breadth, you can read his many books. You can find the Common Idiot's music on any streaming service. You can also hear a song written and performed in about an hour (without the studio, so the quality isn't great, but it's an homage to you!) at the end of this episode, which may or may not eventually be on all streaming services, with the rest of my music. Also, still planning on a full album out soon. Still so excited. While I'm stealing the spotlight and being selfish for a second, I do want to take a moment to be vulnerable. I have a bit of a...stomach issue. The doctors are still working on figuring out what it is exactly. Don't worry, this isn't a "I have 3 months to live" message, but it's still important to be open. The best guess is GERD, but it presents in a lot of different ways. There are some other health complications that might be along side and either exacerbating the problem, or being a menace of its own. Unsure, and unclear. The worst part, from a performer's standpoint, is I sometimes have difficulty swallowing, and I'm quite literally unable to do anything until it passes. So, if you've heard times where it sounds like I'm letting out a big sigh of disinterest, it is because I'm finally drawing my first breath in 30 seconds, or have moments where I pause for a long time between words, same thing. Adding to this is I have a tic in my face that sort of comes and goes, and I think sometimes these two problems love to tag team me into submission. It honestly has affected my confidence, but that's a whole different thing. The problem manifests itself, too, with a lot of burping, or even just throat sound from my esophogus doing...idk, bullshit things. I normally edit it all out, but it's often extremely time consuming. I did not do that in this one, and it can be heard. I apologize if it sickens you. I'm not a fan of the sound, hopefully everything else distracts nicely. There have been a few other episodes where it was there and I either missed them in editing, or ran out of time and had to leave them. I shied away, I'm not anymore. Also, I'm seeking treatment, trying to fix it, and hopefully it will never be a problem in the future.  A note about Kent. I want to take a second to just thank my best friend on this whole fucking planet for being with me in this. He could have picked a lot more qualified people to run this with, he chose me. He does tend to make poor life choices. Anyway, I love you, brother.

Welcome back to another riveting episode where the boys inevitably get distracted and go on tangents. However, along the way, the Idiots talk noses. You know, snoots, boopers, snozzes, sniffers, cold wet presses...the list goes on. Learn about some of the super amazing functions of the nose, why they're better with theirs than you'll ever be with yours, and imagine being able to see the world by scent. Also, there were supposed to be some links for references, but you'll have to google that yourself because Cory lost the list and doesn't feel like hearing Kent complain. Again. So, the research is from blubity bloo. Trust me, that will make sense in the context of the episode. Also, if you listen closely, you can hear the cameo of multiple birds on the window bird feeder adding their two cents to the conversation. No one asked, though. Very pushy, insistant, really. 

The Idiots have talked about what it's like when you're an established vet, what it's like going through vet school, and what it's like in internships, residencies, and clinicals, but that murky inbetween has not been breached. That's where Dr. Maddy Golichowski (or as Kent says "Gahlowzzskckksheeee") comes in. Dr. Maddy is well into her second year as a practicing vet, which allows her the hindsight of a first year without the distance in time obscuring her view. We talk pros, cons, and difficulties with being green in the field. Listen up, this rookie is going to do great things, and The Idiots were happy to be along for the ride. 

This week, The Idiots discuss White Coat Syndrome, which is a phenomenon where nerves override the body in anticipation of seeing a doctor. Can be the building, the area, the lobby, the doctor-something just gets ahold of the animals. This can happen to humans, as well. We are lobbying for a new law where pizza and tacos are given free at the doctor, to make it more enjoyable and to relate good with the clinic. We do the same with animals! Anyway, listen in to hear about WCS, how you can help your pets get through it, and the pitfalls of failing to be prepared for a visit with an anxious dog. Just remember, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. 

Howdy! Do you want to pay a small amount now or a huge amount later? Unless you are a moron, I think I know the answer. That's what this episode is all about. The boys talk preventative medicine, including checks ups, vaccines, and other routine maintainence for your pet. Don't worry, they get distracted, figure out how to work Angela Bassett into the conversation, and get sidetracked talking about sharks.   BTW, Cory's 5 favorite sharks all time are the thresher, great white, megalodon, goblin, and stethacanthus.

What should high schoolers who are interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine be doing to prepare for higher education?  Returning and special guest Bret Marsh, DVM, joins hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama for today's episode of The High Ground Powered by Premier Companies.  Bret serves as the Dean of Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine and Chief Executive Officer of the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital, and a lot has changed since he joined us last time!  Bret will share about his educational and career journeys and how he's ended up back at Purdue University.  In addition to speaking about his single biggest surprise as he's come back to Purdue, he'll share about the competitive process, and the challenges that exist for rural and large animal vets.  You'll also learn Dr. Marsh's recommendations for high school students who may be interested in pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine and how you can stay up-to-date with the most recent news from the Indiana State Board of Animal Health.

In a season of return guests, another makes a come back. Amber Johnson, Idiot Brain Witch extraordinaire, touches on mental health again, and steps you can do to help keep mental health in check. Be it self care, calming techniques, or just being kind to yourself in general, you matter, and vets have incredibly stressful jobs. Yours might be, too, if your career isn't in the veterinary medicine world. Maybe you're unemployed or a stay at home parent. Mental health, self care, and calming techniques aren't limited to stressful jobs. It's an episode that can speak to anyone. Give a listen and be kind to your mind. If you have more questions for Amber, reach out to either of the Idiots and they can put you in contact. If we get enough questions about mental health in general, we may compile them into another episode with Amber.    Suicide and Crisis Helpline: Call or Text 988   https://988lifeline.org/talk-to-someone-now/ University of Tennessee - Veterinary Social Work   Grief and Bereavement services available as well as pet loss support groups.

WOW! There are veterinarians who share our approach to health in pets and people. It was a very informative interview that parallels our function and belief on this platform.

Have you ever wanted to be the workhorse of a veterinary hospital? Do all the work for the veterinarians but get none of the credit and a fraction of the pay? Do you want to get scratched and bit by patients routinely? If this sounds amazing to you, then listen to this episode of the path it takes to become a veterinary technician. Jokes aside, they are the lifeblood of any hospital, and a vital piece to the wellbeing of all pets. Our new favorite guest, the Vet Tech Idiot Beth, discusses the way to get there.  Apologies, this episode had some technical difficulties resulting in a second episode in a row with no video and some of Beth's audio was lost, but only in small random spots. The meat and potatoes of the episode is there. Anyway, we're going to blame Kent. Beth is a vet tech. Literature nerd. Music appreciator. Terrible dancer. Her credentials are Beth Laffoon, MS, RVT. She gave "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" a 3.5/5.  "One of the best parts about being a vet tech in academia is getting to serve as a mentor to current, former, and prospective students. Any listeners out there who are thinking about becoming veterinary technicians- feel free to reach out with questions! I'm happy to give insight on the vet tech life or provide info about our residential and online vet tech programs that are accessible from all over the world. (Looking at you, Iceland!)" -B Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BGguCq8mE/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethlynn5150?igsh=MXM4NTVrZ3BucjhqYQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

There always seem to be stories in the news about artificial intelligence, chatbots, and about the regulation of AI. Is it being used in veterinary medicine? If so, what is it being used for? Are there concerns with this? Dr Danielle is going to give us a look at AI and its current role in veterinary medicine. Which eating habits are trendy and which are actually healthy? Nutritionist Julia Karantjas is here with three healthy habits worth our time and attention. Plus, Audio Describer JJ Hunt gets us into the St. Patrick's Day spirit with descriptive tales of Ireland from his long ago visit to the Emerald Isle. #accessibility #assistivetech #podcast #disability #blind #accessibilemedia #KellyCo Find Kelly & Company on YouTube!About AMIAMI is a media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians with disabilities through three broadcast services — AMI-tv and AMI-audio in English and AMI-télé in French — and streaming platform AMI+.

The Idiots recognize that it is tough to be a woman in the world, and it can be even more for one in the veterinary world, so they brought back two of their favorite women doctors, Dr. Erin and Dr. Laura, for a chat about what it's like to be the fairer sex. The gang discuss sexism, both obvious and subversive, harrassment, and discuss the surprising reality that while the vet world is majority female, some of the worst attitudes towards women comes from other women.  Dr. Erin's socials Tiktok and Insta @sheep.rock.vet YT and FB @sheeprockvet Dr Laura's socials and website www.fernandezveterinaryservices.com Tiktok and Insta @thedoctorsfernandez Apologies, we did not record this episode for video.

If a dog's nose is dry, is it sick? Do cats really steal baby's breath? Listen in for these and other myths your favorite Idiots discuss. The boys talk about why these myths exist, where they came from, and if there is any validity to them.  That's it. That's the show description. Also, if you really like this episode, reach out to the Idiots either at their individual socials or at vetmedforidiotsbyidiots@gmail.com and ask about some of your own myths that you have heard about pets over the years. 

Welcome back! Season 3 is finally here! We should all be excited! The boys welcome their first quasi-celebrity, Dr. Dean Scott, vet extraordinaire. It addition to being a vet (in both senses, spending 5 years in the US Army Veterinary Corps), he is a multi-genre published author. He is currently working on the third of the "Dragon Vet" Series, with the second, "The Dragon Vet's Apprentice" released in October of 2023. He does not stop at fantasy, though. He has covered just about every genre and style there is. Come sit in on this wonderful afternoon with the equally wonderful Dean. There is another Dean Scott who is an author, but ours is a veterinarian, too. And awesome. And on this show. Was the other Dean Scott on here? Nope. Dr. Dean Scott is way better.  Amazon.com: Dean Scott: books, biography, latest update Instagram: @deantoonfull Dean Scott Books | List of books by author Dean Scott  

As Season 3 is just a few days away, the Idiots present to you, completely uncut, unedited, unanythinged, many the minis (see what I did there?). This is an absolute rambling, barely coherent, but a peek behind the scenes of how the minis were thrown together. There are moments of random BSing, periods of no talking for pee breaks (both for dogs and Idiots), and other stuff this Idiot does not remember talking about. Enjoy! 

This mini discusses animals that are poisonous or venemous, and some that are both. Also, they argue over when something goes from being venemous to poisonous, or vice verse. Cory usually works his magic to annoy Kent, but he's in fine form in this one. 

We've touched on this before, but it's a good topic for all to be reminded on. The relationship with a client and vet is very important. Be open, be kind, be honest. Don't be a jerk. Don't try to guilt trip. They're doing the best they can for your pets, and you being a monster is going to only make the animal suffer. These vets are humans. Also, as they are humans, do remember there are established boundaries that must be kept. They may love your pet, your pleasant disposition, your behavior, and your business, but they may not necessarily want to be best friends with you. Nothing personal, just, it's their life and sometimes needs to be kept private. 

In this, Kent discusses some embarrassing moments in hospital rooms and then dives into antibiotics (and other drugs) for pets. You don't know better than your vet, please don't tell them they need to give you antibiotics without consult. Thanks!

Surprise episode drop!!! Special Preseason to Season 3 Ep! The Idiots are back with your favorite large animal Idiot Vet, Dr. Erin Masur, and they're talking bird flu. There is so much misinformation, fear, and general confusion right now, and Dr. Erin is setting things straight. Cold hard facts and reality of what is going on, how it will impact prices of eggs, milk, and anything that contains either, and why burying this information is, at best irresponsible, and at worst, critically dangerous. This is an episode you will not want to miss. "I just saw possibly the stupidest piece of misinformation about h5n1 I've ever seen. Someone was like “no flock should be destroyed before they get a chance to build natural immunity to this virus”. It's a 97.5% mortality rate and there is no such thing as immunity or even cross immunity due to viral reassortment. They get it, 24 hours later they're dead. There's no immunity you insane noodle doodler" Tiktok and Insta @sheep.rock.vet YouTube and Facebook @sheeprockvet https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/animal-health-and-welfare/animal-health/avian-influenza/avian-influenza-virus-type-h5n1-us-dairy-cattle https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/commercial-backyard-flocks There was one specific to h5n1 that the cdc was running but due to an executive order updates were halted to that webpage  

This mini touches on separation anxiety, and some of the things you can do to help it. Oh, and a touching (and terrifying) story about Tazer. 

Finally, back to talking about animals, right? The Idiots discuss the puppy vaccination schedule, from birth to being an adult dog. 

Alright, an episode that really matters. This one talks about Cory's music. It's pretty fun, and far away from animals medicine. Don't worry, we're going back to that soon enough. Link Tree below Check the links out. Go. Go! | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree

New Year, New Mini. Well, a day late. Doing our second wave of minis, and working more fan requests (still such a weird thing to hear), we regale you on the story of when we met. It's really not that fascinating. Just know that Frank Turner is amazing and that Angela Bassett herself made this happen.

Mini...kinda. We screwed up. We discussed our favorite hockey players. We're Idiots, but we're also sports nerds, especially when it comes to hockey. It's long, but sorta entertaining in the way we are usually sorta entertaining. But it's still a mini in the sense it's shorter than MOST of our normal episodes. 

Mini again, this time, the grossest things Kent has seen in the workforce. Rachel, come get your Idiot!

We have had people ask to get to know The Idiots better. We are using minis to try to let people know a little more about us. This one is about our favorite movies.    It goes without saying that our favorite movies we say are right after the last Angela Bassett movie. However many movies she has done, our number 1s start after that last movie of hers. 

Emergency talk still...what to do when your pet gets into a scrap. 

Hot dog! But not the Frankfurter version. Emergency help for an overheated dog!

Mini talking about blunt force trauma, specifically hit by cars. 

Happy Holidays!!!! With the holiday season coming up, we know it is important to have a reminder of what is safe and unsafe for your favorite pooch to eat. Encompassing Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all other feasts from now til the end of the year, it is very common for vet visits to spike after these days due to dogs being exposed to too many different foods.  In a first, the Idiots are in person together. As they have always attempted to make this show feel like you are sitting around a dining room table having a drink and talking with them, they lean entirely into it. This is an entirely uncut episode, every awkward pause, every grumble from the dogs, background noise, even a couple interruptions from friend of the show and wife of Cory, Amber, the Brainwitch Idiot, to bring delicious macarons. This is as close as hanging with the Idiots as you can get. Plus, you get to avoid smelling Mutie's noxious gas drops. 

Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, Chief Medical Officer at the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), joins us to discuss the evolving role of veterinarians in modern veterinary practices. Dr. Vogelsang introduces the concept of "decentering" the veterinarian to create a more team-based approach that places the patient at the heart of care, similar to patient-centered models in human medicine. She explains how this shift can improve efficiency and client satisfaction by empowering veterinary technicians and support staff to handle many tasks traditionally managed by DVMs. Together, Dr. Andy Roark and Dr. Vogelsang explore the barriers to this model, including liability concerns and the importance of training and trust in a collaborative practice. This thought-provoking conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of veterinary medicine and the evolving dynamics within the field.

Besides her role at AAHA, she is an active board member of the Mark Morris Institute and the Veterinary Virtual Care Association.

We've reached the end of season 2, Idiot Army! The Idiots close out the season in a role reversal, with Dr Kent hosting and Cory co-hosting. Cory pitches nontraditional, nonmainstream, and nonscientific medicine to Kent, who shoots them all down. Discussions include antivaxxing, amber beads, and other whack crackadoo stuff. It's a good time. They also do a small mail call, talk about the future, and discuss what NHL players Cory would beat up in a fight.  All aside, thank you for two seasons of listening. If you keep spreading the word and listening, we'll keep doing this.

The Idiots discuss dog mods, specifically dewclaws, ear cropping, and tail chopping. If you are a AKC aficionado or a 1700s hunter, you may really want to pay attention. Basically, this is it in the episode. If there was one to skip, it's this one. Normal episodes are terrible, but this one is bad even for the Idiot's standards. Cory the Common Idiot does start with a joke, which is fun. It peaks 13 seconds in. 

In this episode of HUNTR Podcast, we're excited to bring on Dr. Chris Seabury, Texas A&M Professor of Vet Medicine, to talk a little bit about Chronic Wasting Deisease (CWD) in whitetail deer and what kind of research and practices are being led to do so. There has been a lot of discussion around CWD and money spent to try and influence a healthier deer herd, but sometimes the answers can be hard to find. What better guy to ask than Dr. Seabury.

Howdy young Idiots! If last week's episode didn't sell you on the easy and gravy career path of a veterinarian with exciting tales of clinicals, this one will really grab you when we talk about resident work with the Resident Doctor Idiots, Dr Rigo and Dr Louie. They discuss the world of internships and residencies, the difference between private practice vs acadamia from a resident standpoint, how to make a bionic frog (we can rebuild him, we can make his stronger, faster, ribbitier), and other fascinating things. Plus, Dr. Kent makes fun of other people than Cory. 

BONUS EPISODE! SURPRISE! In a VMFIBI first, the Dr. Idiot ventures on his own with Dr. Erin, better known as the Large Animal Idiot, or by the end of this bonus episode, Food and Bird Idiot. They continue the conversation from the Vet School Expectations, with a few beers, margaritas, and arts and crafts. Join them for a fun conversation, hear about more horror stories, but, see the light at the end of the table. Yes, it's tough, but it's also worth it. And remember, young veterinary professionals, advocate for yourself. Your hard earned degree gives you more power than you'll realize at times. 

The Idiot Army has asked, and the Idiots have sorta answered. Vet school life, what to expect. The good, the bad, and the clinical. This motley group of Dr Idiots join The Original Idiots in giving picture of vet school and clinical year as realistic as possible. It's hard, it's stressful, it's exhausting, and it's worth it.  Dr Erin Erin Masur – Mother Earth News Dr Laura  Veterinary Mentorship, Veterinary Relief, Equine Chiropractics | Fernandez Veterinary Services | Ohio

The Idiots discuss paying for veterinary medicine in this week's episode, and why the costs can get to what is perceived as high. Remember, if you don't pay your bill, you're not just scum, they know where you live. Doctors often have a huge degree (no pun intended) of debt they come out of vet school with to keep your pet alive and being the best version of themselves. If you are facing hardships, google is your best friend. There are often clinics and resources in the community that can help with low income families with veterinary care. Some food banks actually have pet medicine and food, as well. People care about your dogs and cats and other animals. Please, if you cannot afford the proper care for your pet, wait rather than letting them suffer with mediocre care, and add to your family when you can properly afford them, but should hardships strike, know there are resources that can help, both for you and your pets. Call 211, your local United Way resource, and they may be able to help. And again, google is an amazing resource. The Common Idiot uses it often to find resources for his clients in his regular job.

Episode 20- Mental Health in the Vet World. The Idiots are joined by Idiot Brainwitch Amber, LLMSW (and a whole lot of other letters) who discusses the importance of boundaries, mental health, and staying safe in your own head. The episode goes a little off the walls, as you would imagine with three neurodivergent people. If you are in the veterinary world, this is a must listen. If you are not, this also is a good listen as burnout and secondhand trauma exists in many careers. We also discuss the importance of boundaries and that veterinarians do not owe you anything, even if you sorta kinda knew them in high school over a decade ago. Don't be cheap, don't be an ass.    If you are feeling any mental struggles, please review below. The world is better off with you in it than without. Please, find the help you can get. We love all of our Idiot Army and do not want to see one lose to the silent killer. You matter. You belong.

This weeks episode brings the Doctors Fernandez (@thedoctorsfernandez) who discusses mixed animal clinics, what it takes to work on a kangaroo and an owl, why you should learn to duck faster if you are castrating a bull, and why they are an incredible resource for all the young Pre-Vet Med Idiots out there. Also, Kent and Cory say some stuff, but does anyone really listen when they talk?

In today's episode, The Idiots speak with Melissa Sluiter, parent of the first FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) patient Dr. Kent saw beat the odds and survive. FIP has historically been the kiss of death, and now, with pushes from brave owners like Melissa and Idiot Doctors like Kent, it is both survivable, and 100% legal in the US.  The actions described in this episode might be fictitious in nature, and are in no way condoning breaking any laws, even if it means the survival of your furry child If you are a cat parent dealing with FIP, please consult the following on social medias; -FIP Global CATS -FIP Warriors 5.0 -US Based Stokes Pharmacy, in partnership with BOVA, who now offers legal treatment for FIP with GS-441524 -Dr. Niels Pedersen at UC Davis -SOCK FIP

The Idiots discuss holistic medicine (not the pseudoscience “crystals and burning sage” version, but the whole body mentality) with Dr. Tim Combs, whose resume puts most people to shame. He's certified in basically everything, so he's the Everything Idiot. Discussions in this episode include lasers, acupuncture, rehabilitation, penis jokes, dog massages, and the metal scene. Oh, and Combs is the founder of an emo metal pet clothing company, Disgust Clothing. Apologies, there was something in the recording that caused interference. The sound editor did the best he could do, but The Idiots only pay him nothing. They say it's intern work, and builds character. Cheap pricks!

The Idiots talk about their dogs, both here today and living immortalized in their minds, in a rather emotional and heartfelt episode. Brief stories and anecdotes fill an hour and half episode that easily could have been 3 days if The Idiots were allotted the time to give the honor these pets deserve. Gain insight into some of the muttly crew that is often heard in episodes barking, claw tap tap tapping as they walk around, or that weird sound the Mutie makes. Join The Idiots in getting in all the feels.   

The Idiots host another vet, Dr Erin, who works exclusively with large animals, especially the edible kind. They discuss the common day for the Large Animal Idiot, emergencies, animal dongs, and why you shouldn't let your chickens play with other chickens! This one is a little extra NSFW.

The Idiots host Melinda, the Rescue Idiot, who schools the boys on shelter life, rescues, and dives into how these worlds collide. Hear stories from the inside, a dabble into the shady side of shelters, and learn that kill shelters aren't necessarily bad, nor are non-kill shelters inherently good. Editor's note, this episode sucked because Dr. Kent had a pen for the entire show and clicked it nearly 18,000 times in an hour and a half. He is no longer allowed to have a pen.
