Animals

An important culture medium in the lab is sheep's blood agar.

There are animals everywhere. Cows in the paddies, sheep in the yard, pigeons in the ceiling, geckos on the wall, goats on the roof etc.

We even get some in the hospital: these sheep have occasionally been seen inside the hospital.  Dogs generally know better (they usually get kicked if they come inside), but my favorite is the cats.  Cats are seen underfoot here and there on the wards, but yesterday I was seeing patients in clinic when a cat came in and curled up on the exam table, barely even glancing at me, "What?  This is my bed, I always sleep here..."
