As a little girl, I already knew I wanted to work with animals, and most of all, help them.
Yet there was one big reason I never even considered going to vet school.
The thought of dissecting dead animalsā¦ of having to examine certain limbs up closeā¦ I found it gross.š³
Years later, during my training as a therapist, attending a dissection became a requirement for the next level.
I really had to push myself over that threshold. But once the skin was removed, something unexpected happened: I felt fascination, curiosity even.
Since then, Iāve attended many dissections, especially of horse heads, and Iāve learned so incredibly much from them.
For example, I used to think of the nervous system as thin red threadsābut seeing it up close, the nerve looked more like a kind of thick ropeā¦
Itās incredible how beautifully bodies are created.
And no, I never would have believed it back then if someone told me I would be doing this.
What about you? Have you ever told yourself you would absolutely never do somethingā¦ but ended up doing it anyway?
