It Might Get Weird: Journeys in Veterinary Medicine

Sara Rae & Gary Marshall, DVM

Welcome to "It Might Get Weird," the podcast where we dive into the journeys of veterinary professionals.

Your hosts are Dr. Gary Marshall and Sara Rae.
Gary has been a veterinarian for more than 35 years. Sara has been a veterinarian for zero years. That's about to change and that's why we're here.

Our main focus will be to follow Sara on adventures as a Washington State University class of 2028 veterinary student. We’ll be along for the ride as she encounters challenges, and celebrates triumphs during her 4 year commitment to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

Along the way, we’ll also interview super interesting individuals who have valuable stories to share about their personal and professional journeys.

S1 : E22 - That Halloween "True Crime" special episode

Warning: Don't listen if you're triggered by stories of murder. Maybe don't listen while you're in a taxi or a ride share or if you've just gotten into a car with a random stranger. Maybe just don't hitchhike and get into cars with random stranger's anyway.
Otherwise, wait until all the trick-or-treaters are done for the night, turn out the lights, light some candles, and curl up on the couch and listen to this very true, very much crime related story about an inventor of a very common companion animal surgical instrument (that you will never forget the name of after this).

S1 : E17 - That First Anatomy Test Afterglow

Episode 16 was a bit subdued, but not Episode 17! Sara came straight from her first anatomy exam (Probably the most anticipated exam of Vet School other than National Boards), to recording this week's episode. It is so great to hear Sara on such a high from getting that test into her rear-view mirror.
Enjoy! Thanks for listening!

Gary and Sara share about their separate camping getaways, and then mostly talk about the structure of organized veterinary medicine and Gary's involvement in state and national veterinary medical associations. This may not be your jam, but it's good to learn new things. Maybe you're into crocheting or competitive cornhole! We're not into stuff like that, but would be happy to listen and learn more about your passions. If you choose to listen to this epsisode, thank you. We'd love your feedback.

Thanks in advance for listening. It's hard to believe there are 20 episodes published so far. With that in mind, it seems like a good time to get to know the co-hosts a little better. In this episode, Gary interviews Sara and goes way back to early childhood. Everyone has a unique and important story to tell. The more we learn about each other, the more effectively and strategically we can help each other achieve our goals.
Next week Sara will interview Gary for episode 22.
The podcast would still appreciate a sponsor stepping forward.
