Today is really bittersweet for me.....At school we had phi zeta which is a research day held at LSU each year. This year a decision was made to present three posters on my research. My projects came to fruition today and we collected 2nd prize for therapeutic plasma exchange. We entered just to participate and came away with a win. This has been a project that has consumed me for the last year. When I collected the initial data I would spend most of my weekends and weeknights doing therapeutic plasma exchange on patients and blood samples.
Now you say, what's the significance? Why bitter sweet ? Well I guess it's because it's been a labor of love and now I hate to leave it all behind........
I really love this quote and it really typifies how I have felt my entire career with regards to veterinary medicine:
"He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."
Francis of Assisi
