We're all back in the studio talking about no-ones favourite topic, complications. As James Herriot said, "It shouldn't happen to a vet".

There are tales of woe and it's clear that everyone gets those cases that can be somewhat... challenging! Hopefully there's some tips to help when things do go astray and maybe how to avoid in the first place.

Alix, also, callously calls out Andy for being old (shocking).

In this episode Annabel interviews friend of the Pod, James Haseler. James is based at Willow's Referral centre and is a Diplomate of the EVDC. During his residency he was lovingly known as "Cyst Boy" although now a specialist perhaps that should be Dr Cyst...?!

James and Annabel discuss management of odontogenic cysts by means of marsupialisation, amongst other topics.

Annabel and Alix review malocclusions (and the words of wisdom of supervisors). This topic is particularly pertinent to Alix, as her own dog has just been diagnosed with a class 2 maloccluion.

This episode is really about introductions, who we are, how we fell from ignorance and hopefully sets the tone for the coming episodes.

There's also banter about the recent Scientific Meeting of the British Veterinary Dental Association.
