"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.
