Introduction to the Veterinary Surgery Podcast

Hello, and welcome. I am Der. Jolle Kirpensteijn, and if you have found your way here, chances are you are a veterinary surgeon, a surgical resident, a student with a scalpel dream, or someone who simply cannot stop thinking about what happens in the operating room. This podcast is for you. Surgery is a discipline that rewards curiosity, humility, and the willingness to keep learning long after the diploma is on the wall. That is the spirit behind what we are building here, a space for conversation, reflection, and the kind of honest exchange that does not always fit neatly into a lecture hall or a journal article. We are just getting started, and there is a great deal more to come. Cases, conversations, controversies, and a few things that might surprise you. Stay with us. It is going to be a good one.
