Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and here's what started coming
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into very clear focus for me
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,physicians and veterinarians were essentially
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,taking care of the same disorders in their animal and human patients

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now, I've got a confession to make
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though i studied comparative physiology\Nand evolutionary biology,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as an undergrad,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,i had even written my senior thesis\Non darwinian theory,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it came as a much needed wake up call for me
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so i started wondering,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with all of these overlaps,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how was it that i had never
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thought to ask a veteranarian
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or consult the veterinary literature
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for insights into one \Nof my human patients?\N
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why had i never, nor \Nhad any of my physicians friends
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and colleagues, who i asked,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ever attended a veterinary conference?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for that matter, why was any of this a surprise?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,i mean look, every single physicians
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accepts some biological connection
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between animals and huamns
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,every medication that we perscribe
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that we've taken ourselves

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there's something very different about
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,giving an animal a medication or a human disease
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the animal developing congestive heart failure
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or diabetes or breats cancer on their own
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now maybe some of the surprise
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,comes from the increasing
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,separation in our world
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between the urban and the non-urban
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, we hear about these city kids who

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that cheese comes from a plant
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well today's human hospitals
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are turning into increasingly

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this creates a psychological
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,distance between the human\Npatients who are being treated there
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and animal patients who\Nare living in oceans

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but i think there's an even deeper reason
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,physicians and scientists,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we accept intellectually that our species, \Nhomo sapiens
