Battle Cry of the Road Warrior

One of the best perks of ambulatory practice is climbing back into the truck in between appointments. Whether it is a 10 minute jaunt to the next farm, or an hour commute up the freeway; this space and time provide the perfect opportunity to make calls, think, decompress, and participate in one of my favorite activities-- Truck Karaoke!

Pull up next to my vehicle at any given stoplight and, chances are, you will witness a full volume vocal performance. While I may never receive an invitation from James Corden to accompany him in Car Pool Karaoke; I find great utility in this past time and I’m not the only one! Buzzfeed knows what I’m talking about, and even Huffpost put out an uber scientific *roll eyes here* article on the therapeutic benefits of singing in the car. We could analyze this behavior with our brilliant vet brains, but do we need to? I just know that, more often than not, the right song comes on for the right scenario:

After peeling away from a particularly loquacious client:

No Doubt - “Don’t Speak”
“Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
so please stop explaining”


It’s an abscess:

The Killers - “The Man”
I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man”


When the patient history doesn’t quite fit the timeline:

Mumford and Sons - “Believe”
“I don't even know if I believe
Everything you're trying to say to me”


Crossing your fingers on that Hail Mary Case:

Panic! At the Disco - “High Hopes”
Had to have high, high hopes for a living”


At least she pays cash:

Ava Max - “Sweet but Psycho”
“Oh she’s sweet but a psycho/ A little bit psycho...
Yeah, people say, "Run, don't walk away" “


Break a leg on your own vehicular performances. Just remember, keep your eyes on the road and you get bonus points if you turn the radio down to a capella the hard parts.
