Vet Life Reimagined
Many have dreamed to enter veterinary medicine, and at the same time so many veterinary professionals love the field but feel "stuck" in their careers. Vet Life Reimagined was created to show that there are more possibilites than we often realize. Each week, host Dr. Megan Sprinkle, sits down with veterinarians, veterinary technicians, students, and leaders who share their real stories - the detours, doubts, and discoveries that shaped their career paths.
The podcast is a space to explore what's possible, find encouragement from others who've been there, and spark ideas for your own next step. Whether you're seeking inspiration, mentorship, or simply reassurance that you're not alone, Vet Life Reimagined offers conversations that help veterinary professionals thrive in both work and life.

From Scalpels to Stand-Up: A Veterinarian's Surprising Journey into Comedy (Sarah Boston)

Today on Vet Life Reimagined, we have a guest who embodies the spirit of reimagining vet life in unexpected ways.
Our guest today is Dr. Sarah Boston, a veterinary surgical oncologist who is trading some of the operating room time for the spotlight of standup comedy - and is enjoying embracing all facets of herself.
Sarah Boston is a board-certified veterinary surgeon specializing in surgical oncology. She has spent much of her veterinary career in academic settings as she loves teaching but also in private practice hospitals. She also co-founded a veterinary satirical news website called The Cageliner and is a podcaster of the Comedicine podcast where she interviews other medical professionals who have entered into comedy in some way.
While Sarah is a comedian, this episode shares a lot of life challenges that are not kicks and giggles. Including when she really started to lean into her creative side by writing about her experiences diagnosing her own thyroid cancer and her journey through that. Her story is presented in her natural humorous way in a best-selling memoir called Lucky Dog: How Being a Veterinarian Saved My Life. We still discuss the importance of humor along with a lot of different topics I think you will appreciate, so let's get to the conversation with the highly talented Dr. Sarah Boston.
