About this product

Product Information

"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.

"It's 12:00 a.m., and I have just finished Nick Trout's book-I could not put it down. Nick has real insight into animals in trouble and their caretaker owners. The human-animal bond is alive and well. Read this book!" -Dr. Robert Taylor, star ofE-Vetson Animal Planet "Dr. Trout has given us a lifetime in one day as he takes us on his rounds as a veterinary surgeon. With equal parts, wit, wisdom, and great kindness, he offers a rare look into the mind and heart of a remarkable man. He is the vet every animal owner wants and the advocate every animal deserves when it comes to facing the complexities and often expensive options of diagnostics and treatment. This is a man who loves his job, and everyone benefits: the animals in his care, their often lovable but sometimes infuriating owners, and, lastly, the reader, who is lucky enough to go along for the literary ride." -Susan Richards, author ofChosen by a Horse "I laughed, I worried, I laughed some more, I teared with a lump in my throat, and I came to think of Nick Trout as a guy I'd like to have a beer with. This book is wonderful, and, oh yes, I also learned a lot about veterinary medicine and veterinarians. They are as necessary as a dog's hug. If you love dogs, you'll love this book." -Mordecai Siegal, author ofDog Spelled Backwards "Join Dr. Trout, a top veterinary surgeon at one of the best animal hospitals in the United States, on an intimate journey filled with humor and great insight into the care of our kindred spirits and their humans. Dr. Trout illuminates the intricate bond between people and their animal companions in a manner that you'll find as interesting as you do touching." -Allen M. Schoen, MS, DVM, author ofKindred Spirits: How the Remarkable Bond Between Humans and Animals Can Change the Way We Live "Tell Me Where It Hurtsis a wonderful behind-the-scenes story about a day in the lives of individual animals and the dedicated humans who selflessly care for them. This book is a must-read because it shows clearly how incredibly difficult and heart-wrenching decisions need to be made "on the run"; but when hope, humility, heart, compassion, and love predominate, we're right far more often than we're wrong. Read this book, laugh, cry, and share widely. It's that enlightening and important." -Marc Bekoff, author ofThe Emotional Lives of AnimalsandAnimals Matter, and editor of theEncyclopedia of Human-Animal Relationships

Tell Me Where It Hurts
I loved the book - so much so, I bought another and had it sent to my daughter, who's a vet and will love it, too. The stories are down-to-earth, great animal stories. The author is knowledgeable but talks 'regular' people talk - sharing the feelings he has as a vet. From talking with my daughter, he's right on target. This is the update to James Herriot's books.

Disappointed
Not as good as his other book. Too much detail, he writes like his Audience Are fellow vets.

Tell Me Where It Hurts
I purchased this book after reading a synopsis in a magazine. Being an animal fanatic I love books concerning animals. After starting I could not put the book down. I finished it in one reading. Vets are special people. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves animals. Be prepared for a few tears. We are so fortunate to have animals in our lives.

Tell Me Where It Hurts
This is a great book. I used to work at a vet clinic, so I can identify with his humor, and his views of his patients and their owners. I'd highly recommend this book.
