Our hospital recently started taking digital oral radiographs, and getting the disposable plastic sleeve over the probe was extremely frustrating.

… or maybe just your ideas. If you have a genius fix for freshening anal gland expressions or simply making life in veterinary medicine more efficient and pleasant, send it to us at vm@ubm.com! We'll pay $50 for every tip we publish.
