Tell Me Where It Hurts
Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humour, Healing and Hope in My Life as a Vet | Nick Trout
6 posts | 12 read | 24 to read
It's 2:47am when Dr Nick Trout, a British vet working in Boston, USA, is abruptly woken and called in to the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital to see if he can save the life of Sage, a ten year-old German Shephard with a critical stomach condition. The case is severe, the outlook bleak, and Dr Trout is her only chance. So begins an intimate and exhilarating journey into a typical day in a far from typical job. TELL ME WHERE IT HURTS takes the reader to the heart of the trials and tribulations of life as a veterinary surgeon, a life filled with heartbreak, triumph, anxiety, and of course, cuddly pets and their variously crazy, desperate, and demanding owners. The day's events come alive with Trout's breezy and companionable narration, and while he illustrates many of the issues pertinent to 21st century pet medicine, at its heart, the book reminds us that while the technology may have moved on from James Herriot's day, the essential characters, humour, and humanity remain the same as ever.

I bounced between pick and so so. This book was supposed to be humorous and i didn't really find it funny. It was enlightening about how vets and veterinary surgeons feel.

#TBRtemptation post 3! This is an inside look at a modern day veterinarian and his hospital, where he specializes in cat and dog surgery. Lots of interesting information and plenty of insights are provided as to why vets do what they do. There's episodes of sadness and episodes of happiness. For animal lovers and those thinking of entering the profession. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

sdrosereads Amazon because we have no bookstores. Also Book Outlet, Books a million and sometimes I'll order signed copies from independent bookstores across the country when there are author signing events. 7y

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ of 5 ⭐️s.

Any pet parent knows that in the direst of pet emergencies, a sympathetic, reliable vet is your best friend, but have you ever wondered what goes on on the other side of the fence (or examination table)? This book attempts to answer that question. There's plenty of vet memoirs out there, but Trout's is especially fun because of his dry British humor and clear sincerity and love of his job and the animals he cares for.

I highly recommend this book if you want a glimpse into your veterinarian's life! Trout is a specialist, but the craziness, busyness, and caring are universal. Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👩🏻‍⚕️
