You still need the path knowledge to do the surgical residency. Private practice will not allow you to do all the surgery you want, but academic surgery with a vet path board--look at DSI Technologies...

Ironically, I cannot tie knots with a 4-0 to 6-0 Ethicon suture... And I was suppose to be using 11-0 silk... Oh well...
lol ^^^

I've noticed a lot of pathologists practice their specialty in university veterinary hospitals. When I mentioned the 150 or so, that's what I was talking about. They're mostly in vet hospitals, or independent labs. Either that or biotech companies. Yeah, surgery requires path, but after last semester some of my DVM goals have now changed.

Can you tell your husband to sign onto greekchat so he can help me with my homework. lol (I'm kidding)

You're right, it is hard, and yes I do have to suck it up big time. I did o.k. last sememster. I hoping to do better this semester though.
