  • Miss You!!

    Thank you for the latest episode!!

    I've been out of vet med for about 2 years (for the reasons Morgan cited) but I do still have my credential and am teetering on coming back in, especially to help Helene rescues.

    Your work means a lot and even though I'm largely disenchanted, you are a beacon of hope to get back.

    I know I'm very good at what I do, my skills and knowledge are solid. I just wish colleagues were as supportive as you are.

    Not having a supportive family is hard enough, I wish fo... more

  • Antisemitism in your leadership

    I used to love your podcast. Unfortunately I cannot support a podcast that has an unapologetic antisemite within their leadership. I hope Steven apologizes for what he did. It was so disappointing to see such antisemitism from him. I do not believe VAN should receive support from our community until he apologizes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Arrest Under Anesthesia- Now What? with Justin Heinz DVM, DACVECC
Q: What should be the immediate steps when a patient arrests under anesthesia with monitoring in place?
Assess rhythm, start chest compressions, ensure ventilation, and administer epinephrine promptly based on rhythm, while coordinating rapid drug delivery and preparation of reversals.
Improving Anesthesia Safety with Dr. Luiz Santos DVM, PhD, DACVAA/DECVAA
Q: How can someone get in touch to discuss this work further?
Dr. Santos invites contact via email at luiz.santos@glasgow.ac.uk or through the University of Glasgow website for collaboration on safety and quality improvement projects.
Improving Anesthesia Safety with Dr. Luiz Santos DVM, PhD, DACVAA/DECVAA
Q: If a hospital could invest in one area to improve safety, where should they start?
Investing in people and culture—leadership training, psychological safety, and non-technical skills through workshops and simulations—will yield broader safety benefits than chasing high-end equipment alone.
Osteosarcoma Analgesia; What More Can We Do? with Katelyn McDonald CVT, VTS (Oncology)
Q: How is palliative radiation therapy used in these cases?
Palliative radiation therapy is used to reduce pain and tumor burden when curative options aren't feasible. It is given in hypofractionated schedules (2-4 fractions) to minimize patient burden while delivering meaningful pain relief and functional improvement.
Osteosarcoma Analgesia; What More Can We Do? with Katelyn McDonald CVT, VTS (Oncology)
Q: What role do bisphosphonates play in pain management for osteosarcoma?
Bisphosphonates slow bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclasts, helping to palliate bone pain and stabilize the skeletal structure. Zoledronic acid is preferred for its shorter infusion time and potential effectiveness, with IV administration typically every four to six weeks and renal function monitoring due to nephrotoxicity concerns.
