Veterinarian School help/advice?

Sorry, but you can't do that. 90% of vet school is not about surgery anyway. You must learn anatomy, physiology and medicine courses as well and this is the majority of vet school. All veterinarians must pass the national board exam which means that you will need to learn about those surgical procedures even if you don't want to perform them. Most veterinarians only perform routine surgeries such as spays and neuters anyway and some vets don't perform surgery at all. You won't learn "intense surgery" in vet school anyway. Those that want to go on to perform more advanced procedures will go through a residency program after vet school. Also, even if you do not want to perform those advanced surgeries you should still know about them so that you understand when they are indicated and can refer clients as necessary as well as deal with some post-op care.
