How veterinary medicine can save the world PART 3: SERVING THE PUBLIC

摘要

Natural disasters. Disease outbreaks. Terrorist bombings. When crisis hits, these veterinarians are on the scene. Scott Mason found his passion in the bombed-out shadow of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995. Lorna Lanman heard her passion in the eerie silence of small family farms stripped bare of livestock by foot-and-mouth disease in northern England in 2001. Carrie McNeil found a way to harness her activist spirit through investigating everything from rabies to malnutrition with the Epidemiological Intelligence Service (EIS), part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
