Anyone watched this program? I was intrigued and amazed to see the groundbreaking work carried out by this Irish Vet. He pioneers animal welfare issues and believes that animal and Human medicine should have closer links. If we were able to bring the two disciplines closer together what are the possibilities of Humans becoming as hardy as our animal friends. You see a cat or dog with multiple injuries, at deaths door, gets major surgery, bones pinned and organs repaired or removed, Next day they are up and about as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile Humans arrive at work, decide their head isn't in the right place so go home, there is a bout of the snivels about and all the usual suspects succumb requiring a week to recover. Last week a guy was stung by a wasp, he wasn't/isn't allergic but my gawd he has moaned endlessly ever since you would think he had lost a leg. Is it me or are we becoming a bunch of soft wimps.
