So, it is the first time in the trip that we have host students. I really enjoy having a German host, it is quite a nice experience to be able to see how students live differently from us. It has also helped me with my German speaking some, even though I am still not very good.
I think Hannover is a beautiful city, and we have been able to visit all of the different clinics of the vet school, and they are fabulous!!! The small animal clinic and horse clinic are new buildings, and they are wonderful facilities. I was amazed at the small animal facilities especially, they are very nice and I would love to learn in a hospital like it! They also just got a 3.0 tesla MRI, which for me was a very exciting thing to see. The cattle clinic at Hannover is also a very nice hospital, and I think I enjoyed this tour the most. The best part was getting a demonstration in oocyte collection via ultrasound and palpation, and I performed the epidural anaesthesia! We also all got a chance to palpate the ovaries, so it was a wonderful experience and opportunity to practice our skills! We also visited a large stud ranch where we learned about semen collection from stallions, and we got to watch a collection take place. I really enjoyed seeing the ins and outs of such a large operation, and how we as veterinarians played a role in such operations.
Tonight we had a barbecue with our host students, and we had a wonderful time just visiting and eating some fabulous food (sehr lecker!) But now we have 1 day left and I am getting ready for an early morning tomorrow and a whole new journey on Friday.
Biß später!
