I incorrectly thought the article was about a veterinarian and euthenasia of animals/pets.

Using a famous person's name as your handle is not a good idea on HN, unless it's actually your name as well. I've banned this account, but if you send us a different username at [email protected] we can rename it for you and unban it.

Haha, if they were a veterinarian they'd have easier access to treat their depression with the party drug and cat tranquilliser Ketamine, which also actually works[1]

My understanding is that ptsd related depression responds differently to treatment than depression alone.

Me too. I think 'vet' = 'veteran' might be a peculiarly American usage.
