I may have mentioned this before, but otitis externa is probably the reason I became a surgeon. 😂

Two months into veterinary practice, I’d already had enough ears to last me a lifetime.

And yet, somehow, they keep finding me. 💀 Usually at the very end of a perfectly good lameness consult.

The worst part? The look of utter disbelief when I admit that ears are NOT my area of expertise.

Apparently, being a vet means you’re supposed to know everything about every body part. Even the ones you’ve spent your entire career trying to avoid. 🙈

But seriously, does anyone walk into an appointment with a human orthopedic surgeon and ask them to take a quick look at their ears while they’re there? 😂

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Fellow vets, what’s YOUR professional nightmare? 👇

Two days of teaching in Bodø, northern Norway. The laptop died, my shoes lost their soles, and I waved my arms around so much that the clip-on mic gave up every half hour. Technical difficulties galore, but the spirits were high.

The programme was emergency surgery, complications, wounds and fracture management in the field. The audience was lovely vets from big and small clinics, small and large animal, who asked questions the whole way through - which was very helpful given that my equipment was falling apart.

I also snuck in a fair bit of psychology: impostor syndrome, second victim, hindsight bias, how we actually make decisions, and what complications do to how we see ourselves. Not every complication is a mistake, but it often feels that way afterwards.

That turned out to be the part many people said they liked best. My other favourite review came from two mums with three small children each, who told me I’d managed to keep them awake through a whole course, which apparently doesn’t happen often. Win! 😂

Thank you to Dyrlegene Bodø klinikk 🐾 for looking after me, and to everyone who came and engaged. I’ll bring better shoes next time.

Were you there?

REKLAME / samarbeid med Admetec

Det jeg ønsket å finne ut av, var egentlig ikke om 4x «ser imponerende ut», men om jeg faktisk ville velge dem når jeg sto midt i en vanlig arbeidsdag.

Det er derfor jeg har brukt litt tid før denne oppdateringen.

Jeg ville rekke å bli ordentlig vant til dem, bruke dem i forskjellige typer kirurgi og kjenne etter hva jeg faktisk likte – og hva jeg eventuelt ikke likte.

Så langt er konklusjonen ganske tydelig: de har fått en fast plass i hverdagen min.

Og kanskje det viktigste for meg: de føles ikke som noe jeg bare tar frem til de aller mest ekstreme detaljoppgavene. De har blitt langt mer allround enn jeg forventet.

Hvis du er nysgjerrig på å prøve dem selv, kan du kontakte [email protected] og oppgi navnet mitt, Elena. Han er veldig behjelpelig og gir deg en veldig god rabatt!

Apparently, one alternative career wasn’t enough. 😂

A pastry chef or clothing designer because I love making things. A journalist because I love writing and asking questions. An actor because I love stepping into someone else’s shoes.

Come to think of it, maybe those same interests led me to surgery and research: making things, asking questions, and writing. It kind of fits.

What would your alternative career be? 👇
