  • Awesome!!

    I’ve been a veterinarian for 3 years, and I would be lying if I said lab work is easy to interpret. I appreciate the way Holly and Jessica explain the nuances of certain values in relation to many other factors. Very informative, and lacking the pretentious explanations many of us may have experienced at some point in our career. Really terrific information that I look forward to continue following!

  • Story telling

    I enjoy podcasts that are kind of like stories and this is like that. It starts from the beginning and you follow along like a detective trying to figure out what is wrong with the patient at hand.

  • Fun and informative

    I work in anatomic pathology as a necropsy technician and it is really cool to learn about the clin path side of things. I’m nerding out over this podcast. I highly recommend for any aspiring vet students, vet med nerds, vet techs of all sorts, or aspiring CLS’s who like animals.
