Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing and Hope in My Life as an Animal Surgeon

I've read and enjoyed so many "day in the life" books written by people in the human medical field that it was just a matter of time until I found one written by a veterinarian. (Surely this can't be the only one out there?) This was well-written, and because it was about animals, caused me to tear up a few times. That never happens when I read similar stories...more

I've read and enjoyed so many "day in the life" books written by people in the human medical field that it was just a matter of time until I found one written by a veterinarian. (Surely this can't be the only one out there?) This was well-written, and because it was about animals, caused me to tear up a few times. That never happens when I read similar stories about humans. Recommended.   hide

I cried and laughed... and realized that I am glad that I didn't follow my dream to become a vet. Bless animal-lovers like Nick Trout and all the marvelous veterinarians out there who take care of dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish and all the little critters that make this world wonderful.

good stories but goes off on tangents on how pet owners should act with their pets and how they should care for their animals. Preachy in spots

If you like animals, you will like this.

So insightful...it makes me want to become a vet even more!

Not a great book about life as a vet, but a pretty darn good one.

Amazing book, everyone interested in veterinary medicine should read this, even if you are just curious about what taking your pet to the vet might mean.

If you love animals and read the James Herriot books, then you'll want to read this one!

Excellent!!! modern day james herriot!!!
