Great book!

More for a vet student or the like, but I enjoyed it! Happy and sad, funny and serious. Quick read, but not an edge of your seat page turner of course!

Love this book!

Loved this book! I laughed, I cried, but most of all I just really enjoyed this book. I work as a veterinary technician so I can see it from the surgeon's side and understand. I had read it before and this copy I was buying for my mother.

Revealing

I loved this book! It's written from a veterinarian's perspective and is so informative as to a dog's personality and the medical issues related to them.
Very interesting!

It?s 2:47 a.m. when Dr. Nick Trout takes the phone call that starts another hectic day at the Angell Animal Medical Center. Sage, a ten-year old German shepherd, will die without emergency surgery for a serious stomach condition. Over the next twenty-four hours Dr. Trout fights for Sage?s life, battles disease in the operating room, unravels tricky diagnoses, reassures frantic pet parents, and reflects on the humor, heartache, and inspiration in his life as an animal surgeon. And he wants to take you along for the ride.?

From the front lines of modern medicine, Tell Me Where It Hurts is a fascinating insider portrait of a veterinarian, his furry patients, and the blend of old-fashioned instincts and cutting-edge technology that defines pet care in the twenty-first century. For anyone who?s ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at your veterinarian?s office, Tell Me Where It Hurts offers a vicarious journey through twenty-four intimate, eye-opening, heartrending hours at the premier Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston.

You?ll learn about the amazing progress of modern animal medicine, where organ transplants, joint replacements, and state-of-the-art cancer treatments have become more and more common. With these technological advances come controversies and complexities that Dr. Trout thoughtfully explores, such as how long (and at what cost) treatments should be given, how the Internet has changed pet care, and the rise in cosmetic surgery.

You?ll also be inspired by the heartwarming stories of struggle and survival filling these pages. With a wry and winning tone, Dr. Trout offers up hilarious and delightful anecdotes about cuddly (or not-so-cuddly) pets and their variously zany, desperate, and demanding owners. In total, Tell Me Where It Hurts offers a fascinating portrait of the comedy and drama, complexities and rewards involved with loving and healing animals.

Part ER, part Dog Whisperer, and part House, this heartfelt and candid book shows that while the technology has changed since James Herriot?s day, the humanity and compassion remains unchanged. If you?ve ever had a pet or special place in your heart for furry friends, Dr. Trout?s irresistible book is for you.
