In humans, polymorphisms at MC1R cause fair skin and red hair, correlating to increased heat sensitivity and a lower pain tolerance.

Decision making as a new vet
I have been noticing recently that I continue to ask questions to the vets around me that I feel like I should know. I am also asking questions to constantly check myself to see if I am making the right decision. It bothers me that I keep having to ask my colleagues. All of them are more than happy to answer my questions, but I keep feeling that I should not have to ask them.
