Oh yes, I meant I could have sworn the article was Hal, not the headstand pint drinking!

Jack Boyd was a legend in his own right and the headstand pint drinking to demonstrate oesophageal peristalsis remains a highlight of my time at Glasgow- I would have sworn it was Hal though. Memory playing tricks in my old age

Thanks for the link!

No def Prof Boyd. Hal had his own tricks - usually involved a dead animal!

It's Brunus edwardii - April 1, 1972 Vet Record. The reason for it being Brunus edwardii was because Winnie the Pooh's real name was actually Edward Bear, but Christopher Robin always called him Winnie the Pooh.

Love that article! :)

It wasn't Hal Thompson (as much as I love that man) sadly. It was JS Boyd (him of the clinical anatomy book and headstand pint drinking legend) and Alison King and some others A quick google links to the article on a website :) Loved that article so much.

[quote user="Linda Filshie"]My favourite BVA 'scientific' paper was Hal Thompson's one for Burns' night some years ago, on the breeding of haggi for equal leg length.[/quote]

Was that the same as the one on Ultrasound examination of the haggis?

Yes, the photo of the probe in the haggis had a big 'censored' emblazoned across it, presumably to protect the dignity and patient confidentiality of the haggis involved.

Surgeon obviously into total intra venous anaesthesia!

oh no, the doctor used 'bear gas' before making his first inscison - obviously potent stuff as it kept Teddy on a surgical plane of anaesthesia throughout the procedure. I am now going to be imaging a similarly accented voiceover on the next surgery I do, I'm sure.

Surgeon obviously into total intra venous anaesthesia! Since BVA once published a svientific paper on "Conditons of Brunus Edwardius" and then had to be corrected as it should have been " Brunus Theodorius" I'll argue that CPD points are justified!

Stitched up my eldest son's favourite toy, "Tiny" when its stuffing started to come out of its back. Did it in the operating theatre with nylon sutures as the three year old watched.

"Tiny" disappeared for nearly two decades but has reappeared fairly recently. Sutures intact!

Owner of said toy is now 23!

Ha!

I do have to give my son credit for bringing this video to my attention. He is no vet either http://www.professorelemental.com/home

Is it just me who's spotted it or is his pupil fixed and dilated?

I used to 'operate' on my bunny (didn't have a teddy) because I used to punch him until his head came off or his eyes came out (clearly I had a very disturbed childhood - probably because I wasn't allowed a teddy) and my mother finally refused to sew them back on so I had to learn to sew myself, And even at the age of 6 I used to 'operate' on grapes with a razor blade and remove their 'appendix' (the seed) then sew up the skin again with fine cotton. Worst of all I put them back with the rest of the bunch! A surgeon and practical joker, not to mention psychopath, in the making from a very early age!
