I'm afraid your prejudiced shows your ignorance.
Vets are trained every bit has heavily as any human doctor, cartilage, muscle, vascular systems, orthopedics and healing are virtually identical across all mammals. Most of those medical treatments, procedures and drugs used on athletes were invented or refined on animals under the guidance of a vet long before a doctor was ever allowed to use them on a person.
It turns out vets are at the cutting edge, it is the doctors who follow!
That's quite funny! My day job involves the identification and analysis of human and animal skeletal remains. Even though doctors often mistake animal bones for human bones, there really is little similarity. Next time you have a spare moment, compare the structure of your leg that of a dog, cat, horse, sheep, etc. Our bipedal gait means that our physiology is very different to other vertebrates. Most creatures, with the exception of primates and reptiles, walk on their toes while humans walk on their toes, metatarsals and tarsal bones.
Yes, vets have a good general knowledge of vertebrate anatomy and physiology but they don't study human anatomy and physiology.
