Karen Fine always knew that she wanted to be a vet and wasn't going to let anything stop her: not her allergy to cats, and not the fact that in the '80s veterinary medicine was still a mostly male profession. Inspired by her grandfather, a compassionate doctor who paid house calls to all his (human) patients, Dr. Fine persevered, and brought her Oupa's principles into her own practice, which emphasizes the need to understand her patients’ stories to provide the best possible care.

From the gift J. Edgar Hoover gave 20-year-old Shirly Temple to secret government tests on human subjects to medical treatments that made patients glow, this book covers strange historical facts and events that’ll get you thinking!
Publisher's Summary
This book relays my stories of being a country veterinarian in a rural area treating all sorts of animals. I have been writing down my experiences at the office and in the field for 30 years. These stories are often educational, emotional, humorous and unpredictable, but always entertaining.
This audiobook is my first effort to share them with a wider audience. The stories involve working with all kinds of animals, but also involves interacting with their owners. Sometimes, the second is more of a challenge than the first, which makes for interesting stories.
