Acting FAST: trauma, triage and tracking with Dr David Mackenzie

This month, we welcome Dr. David MacKenzie to the podcast. David is an ECC and critical care specialist at Moorview Veterinary Referrals in Northumberland, but prior to this he has had an incredible career setting up ECC services and ICU units at multiple referral hospitals as well as providing an external cardiology referral service. Listen in as we chat about the use of ultrasound in emergency cases, whether to CT or not to CT emergency patients and the empowerment of nurses in veterinary hospitals.

Creators & Guests

Host

Amy Haylock

I have been all sorts of vet since I graduated in 2012; an intercalating research vet, a (very) rural mixed vet in Ireland, a farm vet, and then after surviving a brush with exotics and wildlife, I settled on becoming a small animal vet, mostly with probe in hand. With the superpower of “X-ray vision” at my fingertips and the platform to nurture the future generations of vets and nurses, the clinical-team-at-IMV vet that I get to be now has been my favourite type of vet so far. I am embarrassingly easily bribed by cake and coffee, and when I am not educating or probing, I am found in the mountains or in the water.

Host

Sam Mauchlen

Hello. I am the Scottish one, and I graduated in 2006. After working in mixed practice for 8 years and small animal practice for 5 years, a love of technology, diagnostic imaging and explaining how things work led me to join IMV imaging in 2019. As part of the Clinical Team, I teach and create educational material, like this podcast… I apologise for that thing I said that was wrong, and I should be pun-ished for my terrible jokes.
