Just Another Day at Work

I liked this photo since I first saw it, so you should indulge a proud mama for a moment. Dr. Dolittle is on the left, performing surgery in Ecuador while instructing a veterinary student. Such excursions are set up to spay and neuter animals in underserved areas and give students real-world experience, while offering a foreign trip at discount prices. She was quite proud of climbing a volcano (while further injuring a sprained ankle). But I am more proud and frankly gobsmocked that my kid can cut into a living body without harm, plus teach that skill to others.
