    From personal experience, I have referenced videos on veterinary surgical ergonomics for content in my "human" settings. While patients are different, the human worker and many of the operational issues remain the same. I'm curious to know what aspects of vet HF (e.g. procedural ergonomics, medication safety etc.) might she be focusing on?
