Ethics at the Edge of Veterinary Medicine with Dr Polly Taylor
Episode 2
Thursday, 5 February, 2026
This week on Veterinary Ramblings, Julian Hoad and Mike Brampton are joined by Dr Polly Taylor to discuss veterinary ethics and the limits of modern medicine. Centred on the idea that “just because we can doesn’t mean we should,” the conversation explores difficult treatment decisions, experimental procedures, defensive medicine, and the moral injury vets face in practice. They also reflect on the importance of strong clinical judgement, the pressures on veterinary education, and concerns around the future of Cambridge Vet School. The episode ends with “60 Second CPD,” where Polly shares essential anaesthesia advice, focusing on the basics: airway, breathing, and circulation. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
