Observation

During our second class and waiting my turn to exam our horse patient I found myself observing the observer (other students in their exam approach). As each classmate approached the horse I was struck by their tenderness, compassion, and willingness to gently move across the horse's body while ensuring their patient was comfortable.

Throughout the week I found myself reflecting on those observations and how deeply impressed I was with all of the pre-med students. "Our future generation of bright, intelligent, compassionate people that will graduate as doctors making changes in other's lives."

I feel extremely grateful having the opportunity to be in the presence of such wonderful people in our class. Medicine-Horsemanship is teaching me whether or not someone is a patient, physician or observer, fundamentally our approach through observation can depict a positive outcome in the end.

Kudos to Dr. Kane and the horses for opening the door and our classes willingness to go through it.
