Tell Me Where it Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing and Hope in My Life as an Animal Surgeon
Product Description
Pet Lovers Will Delight in this Heartwarming Insider’s Look at Life in an Animal Sickbay.
From the frontlines of modern medicine, Tell Me Where It Hurts is a fascinating insider portrait of a veterinarian, his furry patients, and the blend of oldfashioned instincts and cold-edge technology that defines pet care in the twenty-first century. Dr. Trout takes the reader on a vicarious journey through twenty-four intimate, heartrending hours in his life; his wry, companionable voice offers enlightening and engaging anecdotes about cuddly (or not-socuddly) pets and their variously zany, desperate, and demanding owners. If you’ve ever had a pet or unique place in your heart for furry friends, Dr. Trout’s inspiring account of loving and healing animals is for you.
Presented unabridged on 8 CDs.

Yet another book about elevating pets to the levels of people. In fact, Trout seems to reckon a dog would make the best spouse. He also thinks its winning for owners to be pathologically obsessed with their animals. He “respects” their delusions and will do all kinds of over-the-top surgeries on the pets to placate the owner’s beliefs that their animal is their child or use instead mother or whatever. Trout calls pet owners pet “parents”. He’s one of the idiots that keeps this pet elevatation fad going.
The only excellent thing I can say about this book is that Nick Trout is a talented novelist and general practitioner. Too terrible he chose to write about pets and too terrible he chose to be a vet instead of a medical doctor. His writing and surgical skills are being wasted on lower species beasts.

I wish Trout may possibly end one tale without interjecting so many side tales. I found the book dull and repeatedly wished he would just end one tale before sticking other really unrelated ones in the middle.

I loved some of the tales, but speed-read a lot of the book, as it either was not news to me or more than I cared to know about veterinary science.

By the middle of this book I was honestly irritated by the wordy, bitchy, overdramatic way the author presented his patients’ owners. I also would liked to have seen more clinical encounters (with pictures!) and fewer anecdotes.
