Parallel Prescriptions: Comparing Human and Animal Healthcare
Siblings can provide support, love and a sense of belonging that differs from any other relationship a person has. That’s certainly true of Dr. Cassi, DVM and host of the VetFolio Voice podcast, and Dr. Lisa M. Hayes, DO, a pediatric specialist and Dr. Cassi’s sister. In this VetFolio Voice episode, the two sisters chat about the similarities between human and veterinary medicine. Tune in to this unique episode as they explore the importance of a good history and physical examination, choosing targeted diagnostics to reach the correct diagnosis, and the pros and cons of specialization in human and veterinary medicine. While there are differences in their chosen medical fields, these sisters have a shared love of internal medicine, as well as a shared personality trait — constantly questioning and digging into complex medical presentations to get to the root cause and establish a definitive diagnosis.
