Veterinary Vignettes

In the aforementioned Anatomy and Physiology textbook, each chapter that covered one of the organ systems I included a story of a personal experience that happened when I was in clinical practice. The point was to give clinical significance to the material in the organ system just covered in the chapter. I was not sure if including a personal story would be appropriate in a textbook as it had never been done previously. However the editors and reviewers of the book loved what I had written and thought that it added relevance to the material covered. The students also liked the stories and, as I was told, would read them before the anatomy and physiology assigned reading.

This was how I started writing memoirs of my veterinary career.


New Book


ANIMALS LARGE AND SMALL
I’VE TREATED THEM ALL


In my years as a veterinarian I have seen and done many things that are unique or unusual; all interesting enough that a person that loves animals would enjoy reading about. Veterinary practice is a people business in which the owners/pet parents are collectively bound together by a common tie, the need of medical care for their animal. That is where the veterinarian comes in, to provide a service, and in this book I deal with not only the pet, but even the joy and grief these people experience. I also get into the relationships with the veterinarians and staff I have worked with and that have worked for me. I tackle touchy subjects like euthanasia, novel virus defense, ethics, the human-animal bond, and humane issues in my stories.

Like many other veterinarians, we each have a repertoire of stories to tell. These are my stories.
