Dr. George Eyster, DVM, talks about his career in veterinary cardiology and developing surgical techniques and conducting research at Michigan State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Eyster talks about his mentors at MSU and developing open heart surgery procedures for animals, while at the same time, ground breaking procedures for humans were also being developed. He also describes sharing facilities with the College of Human Medicine at MSU, techniques used for both human and animal surgery, and cooperative programs with hospitals such as Ingham Medical in Lansing, Michigan. Eyster comments on changes in veterinary medicine, the decline in veterinary cardiac care, and how the animal rights movement has affected the availability of animals for research.
