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

Wonderful Book! Couldn't Wait To See What Happened Next...

This book gave me insight into what it is like for the Vet dealing with animal wellness, sickness and death. I work as a Vet Assistant and I'm a pet owner, so I know what its like from my side of the exam table, but this definitely opened my eyes to their world. It was written with enough humor throughout to keep me wanting more, yet had sincere emotion intertwined to keep it real. Loved how the Dr. could recognize and translate the human-animal bond. I gave this as a gift to one of our Vets and she has passed it around to many as a must read!

For a dog owner, a really must read.

As someone with multiple rescue dogs and the constant visits to the vet, this was nice to read. There were things you wonder if your vet knows or thinks about. I have a feeling after reading this, while all vets are different, I do think there are some very thoughtful, caring ones out there...

Another great read from Nick Trout

Great Read for anyone in the profession

I think that this is a great book for anyone in the vet/vet tech work atmosphere. I enjoyed it and was able to read it quite quickly because I found I could easily relate to the author.

This is one to pull at your heartstrings

Tell me where it hurts is a wonderful read, not only for those working in the medical field but also for all you animal lovers out there. I was first roped into reading it when I spotted the adorable little Boston on the front. Then about 2 days later this book was recommended to me by a family member who had heard about it. It is a page turner that you will not want to put down. I read the entire book in one day/night and am now reading it again! I have 3 pugs one of whom has cancer, so this book really had me in tears both sad and happy ones. I highly recommend every pet owner and lover read this book!

A very good book

Tell Me Where It Hurts

Is a great book. I loved it from the moment that I picked it up in the store I could not put the book down. It is a must read for any dog person or anyone with furkids! I highly recommend this book!

Accurate yet humorous

I found this book to be a very realistic portrayal of a veterinarian and a veterinary practice. It may in some places, with its occassional PG-rated language and straight forward relaying of stories of clients and the things they do, disturb the average animal owner. Although there are some touching stories, this is a not a warm fuzzy fantasy book about animals. If someone is considering entering this field, it gives a fairly accurate description of some of the issues that veterinarians face everyday.

Perspective Veterinary Med Students MUST READ

This book goes through, in detail, a day in the life of a veterinarian in a large practice. It tells of the difficulties of not only his job and the patients, but also of getting there. Details how hard it was not only to get into Vet School, but to stay in. Details of patients cases are informative and have actually helped us to understand our dogs. Parts are very humorous and or heart wrenching showing just what it takes out of you to be a vet.

A Hard Read

Dr. Trout takes you on a journey through a day in the life of a vet, at least his life. The book rambles from story to story, mixing several before finishing one. He comes across as sarcastic about some of the pets and most of the owners. I was disappointed with this glimpse and attempt at humor, although I assume he really cares about his clients.

Fun, informative

Both for animal lovers, and anyone who is considering a career in animal medicine, this book is fascinating. Dr. Nick Trout tells of his, most likely, average day as a veterinarian/surgeon, and the many animals and diagnoses given for various ailments 'some common, others bizarre'. He also discusses the sometimes quirky parents of these animals, such as a client who was upset because his dalmation's spots were not perfectly aligned after surgery. It appears that being a veterinarian is often a thankless job, and if you're in it to get rich, think again. While I have always adored my vet, I respect him even more after reading this book.
