veterinary ophthalmology

A relatively recent specialty within the field of veterinary medicine, devoted exclusively to treating the eyes of non-human animals.
His dog, at the age of ten, had become completely blind. Whereas her blindness would once have been permanent, it could now be reversed. Dr. Jane Cho, a surgeon practicing in Westchester County, New York, had performed a miracle, in his view, had given back the world to his dog by restoring her vision. With each additional year of newly-sighted life, he felt enhanced gratitude toward the doctor and her staff, thankful for the gift of veterinary ophthalmology.

Veteranarian 

The doctor for animals. Commonly known as a vet because the word veteranarian is just too damn long to say, and takes 30 years to learn how to spell. Vets can major is different groups of animals: Large, small, and exotic animal vets are the most widely known. However vets can also specialize in one type of animal i.e. an avian vet. To become a vet you have to be near brilliant and passionate about animals; and you have to be comfortable with animals biting, scratching, and trying to kill you.
Damn, my cat is sick again! I guess I'll have to go to a veteranarian so they can charge me $900 for who knows what.

Duties usually include:
* In-patient care/Ward rounds
* Anaesthesia
* Radiography
* Laboratory work
* Drug dispensing
* Phlebotomy
* Surgical assistance
* And much, much more!
A good way to piss a VN off is to ask them: "So when are you going to become a Vet?" GRRRRR :(

SVN - Student Veterinary Nurse
VN = Very Naughty, Very Nice, VERY NECCESSARY, Veterinary Nurse!
