Timestyle made regular use of inverted sentences , as famously parodied in 1936 by Wolcott Gibbs in The New Yorker : "Backward ran sentences until reeled the mind ... Where it all will end, knows God!" Time also coined or popularized many neologisms like "socialite", "guesstimate", "televangelist", "pundit", and "tycoon", as well as some less successful ones like "cinemactress" and "radiorator". Time introduced

Workplaces should utilize engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment to keep their employees safe. PPE such as gloves, safety goggles, lab coats, and hearing protection should be readily available with mandatory training on proper usage. Raising awareness is the most important step in promoting workplace health and safety. Needlestick injuries are

The start-up and operating costs of a mobile practice are typically lower than those of a traditional brick and mortar hospital, which can cost millions of dollars or more for equipment and surgical supplies. Costs associated with mobile units can range from as low as $ 5,000 for a utility box in an SUV to around $ 250,000 for a fully equipped custom built chassis. The potential advantages to
1012-499: A much higher salary. The average owner payout is $ 400,000 for every $ 1,000,000 of clinic income. In 2021 there were practices sold with $ 8–10,000,000 in yearly revenue with the owners drawing salaries of several million dollars. Over 90% of practice owners do not regret purchasing or starting their own practice, according to a 2020 survey of clinic owners. In order to practice, vets must complete an appropriate degree in veterinary medicine , and in most cases must also be registered with

Unlike human medicine, veterinary specialties often combine both
1380-730: A very narrow and focused specialty. Many veterinarians do also complete a post-doctoral residency, but it is not nearly as common as it is in human medicine. In the last years, curricula in both human and veterinary medicine have been adapted with the aim of incorporating competency-based teaching. Furthermore, the importance of institutionalized systematic teacher feedback has been recognized and tools such as clinical encounter cards are being implemented in clinical veterinary education. Some veterinarians pursue post-graduate training and enter research careers and have contributed to advances in many human and veterinary medical fields, including pharmacology and epidemiology . Research veterinarians were

For instance, in the United Kingdom, as in other jurisdictions, animal treatment may only be performed by registered veterinarians (with a few designated exceptions, such as paraveterinary workers ), and it is illegal for any person who is not registered to call themselves a veterinarian, prescribe any drugs, or perform treatment. Most veterinarians work in clinical settings, treating animals directly. These veterinarians may be involved in

The final two-year curriculum

A veterinary student must be well prepared to be a fully functional veterinarian on the day of graduation, competent in both surgery and medicine.

As with human medicine, much veterinary work is concerned with prophylactic treatment , in order to prevent problems occurring in the future. Common interventions include vaccination against common animal illnesses, such as distemper or rabies , and dental prophylaxis to prevent or inhibit dental disease. This may also involve owner education so as to avoid future medical or behavioral issues. Additionally, veterinarians can play important roles in public health and

Although federal law restricted political action committees' expenditures to $ 10,000 per candidate, an organization could spend unlimited amounts of money supporting or opposing a particular candidate as long as their campaign activity was not coordinated with a candidate. NCPAC pooled independent contributions in order to make independent expenditures on campaign attack ads .

Some reasons for this could be long hours, work overload, client expectations and complaints, poor remuneration, euthanasia procedures, and poor work-life balance. A survey of more than 11,000 vets found 9% had serious psychological distress, 31% experienced depressive episodes, and 17% had suicidal ideation. Online support groups, such as Not One More Vet, have been established to help veterinarians who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. NOMV educates veterinarians and vet techs about other ways to help themselves with mental health. Another driver of stress can be student loan debt. A 2013 national survey found that average debt for veterinary medicine graduates
