Is a veterinarian a physical or mental job?

The majority of the work completed by a veterinarian is mental - gathering information, assembling the information into a diagnosis and then planning a response based upon that diagnosis. However, a veterinarian must also be able to complete the physical tasks of the job - performing a physical exam, doing surgery, etc. In most cases, with some thinking and pre-planning, the physical environment can be modified for a veterinarian with physical limitations to still perform his/her job.
