You’re aware the pulse oximeter?… Read More
You’re aware the pulse oximeter?… Read More
Absolutely. We can do safer and safer anesthesia, and that comes through better monitoring. Like the pulse oximeter was our major, major breakthrough in allowing us to monitor animal anesthesia. Read More
That’s a little clip they put on your finger, your thumb when you’re in the hospital, and it measures your hemoglobin oxygen saturation. And so that’s, when that goes bad, everything else kind of cascades afterwards. And I remember one of the things, a couple of things that Clint Gray’s… Read More
Well I go back to anesthesia, that allows you to do both better diagnosis, and better treatment. So you know, I sound like a broken record, I know, but our diagnostic modalities have improved with the digital x-ray, with laparoscopy, with better analysis of blood and tissue, and things like… Read More
And speaking of that then, are there new frontiers to be achieved in anesthesia?… Read More
Where would you say the greatest changes occurred, in diagnosis or in treatment?… Read More
I mean many people are gonna maybe disagree with me but … But it’s your interview. Yeah. In your career you’ve seen a lot of changes in veterinary medicine. Read More
Do you feel you were part of the golden age at the National Zoo?… Read More
Well it’s like we talked about last night, I think during the first part when we started there, and brought in Dick Montale, and David Wilt, and, you know, we had O’Brien collaborating with us. I think those were the, what you were just phrased as the golden years, and… Read More
I think generally it’s good. I mean I’m not gonna be totally negative about, you know, what’s happened during my tenure. No, we’re getting better zoos, we’re getting better exhibits, we’re getting better animal care, we’re getting better nutrition, we’re getting, I think, better support from the public, you know,… Read More
Some good, some bad, all good?… Read More
And many times I can say maybe, but a lot of times I say “I don’t know how I’d use that information.” Now maybe I’m shortsighted and that, but you know, that’s kind of the way I’d answer that question. Read More
Have you seen zoos change since you began your career?… Read More
And the classic thing, does it make me a better veterinarian to know what this person just published?… Read More
But I don’t see that a lot of people are trying to do that, from what I’m looking at and reading the research, and reviewing papers and doing stuff and looking at it, I’m seeing stuff that is being rehashed to people that aren’t actually doing enough research on what’s… Read More
Would you say though, for zoos in general, medically speaking, has there been an attempt to keep the bar at a certain level, and has that been successful?… Read More
I don’t think that they’re making the progress that we made initially. And part of that may be, like I explained in Baltimore, where initially where everything was wrong, not everything, but for so many things are wrong, and you did a little bit, you got a great big jump… Read More
I think yes answers the question. Okay. Would you, okay. Read More
Anything else on that yes, or just yes?… Read More
Yes. Read More
