By Meredith Crowhurst (LinkedIn Pulse)

"A common complaint of many pet owners is why they can’t just get more medication over the counter. “My dog gets the same ear infection a couple of times a year and every time you give me the same ear drops. It is the same problem. Why do I have to pay for a consult and an ear swab when you will just give me the same ear drops again? Can’t you just sell me the ear drops over the counter?”

"..I'm a great believer in the notion that the first job a new graduate gets is the key to determining their attitudes to their whole professional life."
- Prof Trevor Heath

"You have to be go-go-go all the time so you need to be surrounded by people who can bring you up because it can be really challenging if you're working in an environment that doesn't have the same mindset that you do."
- Dr Andy Pieris
