More than just a vet - Veterinary Life Journeys
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Dead animals at Zurich University weren't going to deter Nadine from becoming a vet when she was only a tween. If anything, it encouraged her more. But after a few turns in her career, she wanted to go back to the roots of veterinary medicine. Welcome to Carriacou Animal Hospital, a veterinary charity in the Caribbean country of Grenada.
Facebook's Carriacou Animal Hospital site
Nadine tells us how the project started and how it works. The charity hospital welcomes veterinary volunteers to enjoy a working holiday on the fascinating island of Carriacou, only a few steps from the beach. As she puts it, they are the heart of the project. She talks about the endemic diseases you would encounter on the island and how these can be treated and prevented.

We also have a thoughtful chat about mental health and how she sees the working demands of clinics as one of the causes of mental health deterioration in today's for-profit practice.
