Majoring in Clinical Pig Medicine


My day is now complete. In the course of my background research for today's translation (about antibiotic use in livestock farming) I've come across someone described as a "Professor of Clinical Pig Medicine."

!!!

Best of all, he's Danish, not German. (Despite it being the Germans who are known for their obsession with pigs in all forms, including in many standard idioms of the language.)

Update:

And another professor (German, this time) is described on the English version of his university's website as a "Swine Consultant."
