    Special Ep 7 - Raising the Bar: Anesthesia Standards in General Practice

    Not all veterinary hospitals approach anesthesia the same way—and that can have a major impact on patient care. In this episode, our trio of veterinary anesthesiologists is joined by Dr. Natalie McShane, owner of East Side Animal Hospital, for an honest discussion about anesthesia in general practice. We explore why the level of anesthetic care can vary significantly between clinics, the challenges GPs face in providing advanced anesthesia services, and whether veterinary schools are adequately preparing new graduates for real-world anesthesia decision-making. A candid conversation about training, confidence, standards of care, and opportunities to raise the bar for patients everywhere.
