autobiography of veterinary (animal doctor)

Answer:
A veterinary physician, usually called a vet, which is shortened from veterinarian (American English) or veterinary surgeon (British English), is a professional who practices veterinary medicine by treating diseases, disorders, and injuries in animals.
In many countries, the local nomenclature for a veterinarian is a regulated and protected term, meaning that members of the public without the prerequisite qualifications and/or licensure are not able to use the title. In many cases, the activities that may be undertaken by a veterinarian (such as treatment of illness or surgery in animals) are restricted only to those professionals who are registered as a veterinarian. For instance, in the United Kingdom, as in other jurisdictions, animal treatment may only be performed by registered veterinary physicians (with a few designated exceptions, such as paraveterinary workers), and it is illegal for any person who is not registered to call themselves a veterinarian or prescribe any treatment.
Most veterinary physicians work in clinical settings, treating animals directly. These veterinarians may be involved in a general practice, treating animals of all types; they may be specialized in a specific group of animals such as companion animals, livestock, zoo animals or equines; or may specialize in a narrow medical discipline such as surgery, dermatology or internal medicine . As with other healthcare professionals, veterinarians face ethical decisions about the care of their patients. Current debates within the profession include the ethics of certain procedures believed to be purely cosmetic or unnecessary for behavioral issues, such as declawing of cats, docking of tails, cropping of ears and debarking on dogs.
Ancient Indian sage and veterinary physician Shalihotra (mythological estimate c. 2350 BCE), the son of a Brahmin sage, Hayagosha, is considered the founder of veterinary sciences.[2]
Claude Bourgelat established the earliest veterinary college in Lyon in 1761.
The first veterinary college was founded in Lyon, France in 1762 by Claude Bourgelat.[3] According to Lupton, after observing the devastation being caused by cattle plague to the French herds, Bourgelat devoted his time to seeking out a remedy. This resulted in his founding a veterinary college in Lyon in 1761, from which establishment he dispatched students to combat the disease; in a short time, the plague was stayed and the health of stock restored, through the assistance rendered to agriculture by veterinary science and art.[4]
The Odiham Agricultural Society helped establish the veterinary profession in England.
The Odiham Agricultural Society was founded in 1783 in England to promote agriculture and industry,[5] and played an important role in the foundation of the veterinary profession in Britain.[6] A 1785 Society meeting resolved to "promote the study of Farriery upon rational scientific principles."
The professionalization of the veterinary trade was finally achieved in 1790, through the campaigning of Granville Penn, who persuaded the Frenchman Benoit Vial de St. Bel to accept the professorship of the newly established Veterinary College in London.[5] The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons was established by royal charter in 1844.
Veterinary science came of age in the late 19th century, with notable contributions from Sir John McFadyean, credited by many as having been the founder of modern Veterinary research.[7]
Autobiography of a veterinary doctor
I am Dr. Manoj Parikar, a senior veterinary specialist in Birbhum, West Bengal. I love animals and they soothe me. It was a voluntary decision to come into veterinary graduation. People ridicule me a lot for working with animals, their poop, kids and calves, pregnancies, etc. but I really do not relate with them. I feel they deserve our care more as they cannot speak.
There are times that make me doubt my choice, like when I can’t save a dying cattle, but I always try to look on the brighter side of life. I have learnt to stay quiet even in pain from my patients. I am happy as a veterinary doctor.
