From Afrikaner to Zebra - A Vet's Life

You Are So Lucky ! I Always Wanted To Be A Vet! Was A Recurring Statement At Any And Every Gathering Which I Ever Attended. Yes I Was Lucky Or Maybe I Was A Bit More Determined Than Most. Thank Goodness For A Good Sense Of Humour And A Positive Attitude To Life If A Bit Cynical. I Learnt To Accept With A Good Grace Being Woken For The Third Time Many Nights To See Emergencies Most Of Which Could Easily Have Waited Until Daylight. I Got Over The God Syndrome And The Inevitable Loss Of Some Patients Only To Have The Immense Satisfaction Of Pulling Through Some Very Difficult Cases.
