Can we talk about how in zombie shows/movies/books they always find a veterinarian and not a surgeon? Are veterinarians deemed more likely to survive the apocalypse?

Yup.

• One of our professional skills is ‘not being bitten by patients’
• We actually have a good broad knowledge base for both surgical, medical, and GP things
• We’re used to improvising equipment because a lot of stuff is just not made for animals
• Meat safety is part of our training
• Our cars are often full of equipment, especially in mixed practice
  
• We probably weren’t in the human hospital at the initial outbreak
