...patient had been nauseated and suffering from diarrhea. At the clinic in Pasadena, Calif. Dr. Norman L. McBride took a blood sample, and analysis showed an abnormally high count of white cells. Dr. McBride suspected an infection of the patient's womb, put her under anesthesia and opened her abdomen. Her womb was normal, but he detected bile stains and inflammation around her gall bladder.

The human-animal parallel is so close that if he has a difficult case many a vet will often talk it over with an M.D.; Dr. McBride recently sought guidance from a proctologist on a case of canine hemorrhoids...
