So one of my friends asked me if I would like to go to India with her to do veterinary work for spring break. It is a basically a giant free spay and neuter clinic that veterinary students can participate in for clinical experience (we of course pay our way out there). I have participated in one in the US as many of you know...in North Dakota...yes, that is what I was doing there. No, I wasn't hanging out in Fargo.
Anyway, I am thinking of going. I mean how often do you see India, and I get to give back to the world.
The only problem is that Equine work (my future specialty) is very big during the spring and I was hoping to visit a hospital or two and gain more experience. This of course can always be done in summer....just not as many problems to encounter (spring is birthing season, lots of problems can occur).
On the other hand India has surgery (my other love) and I hear you get to see and DO A LOT of it:)
So....what do you think?....give me feedback
(Mom- we would have to discuss how I would get to India. Did I mention I love you, alot:)

Sounds like a great oppurtunity, I say go for it! I'm sure the rents will understand ;) hehe
I disagree. I think that since it's something you've already done (albeit in the US and not India) you'd benefit more from working somewhere in what you want to specialize in. And if spring is a big season for potential problems that's even better experience for you.
I promise that my opinion has nothing to do with my completely selfish desire to see you more frequently.
Love ya!
Well, the experience would be amazing--make sure you are up on your shots and take stuff for "India's Revenge"! But if there is a lot happening in your field of choice and the chance to learn more and see more potential problems is greater that may be what you need to do---see you are faced with a 'need' vs 'want' Bottom line your choice.
'om'
Ok "Jade" you have to discount that I will be coming home...I may end up in Kentucky, Florida or NY. I would definately be learning something different...it isn't exactly like the last trip I went on (it is much more intense) just along the same lines. But I do see your point. Plus I just found out the trip is 3 weeks when I thought it was two.
