This honest and touching story from British veterinary surgeon, author and TV presenter of The Pet Factor, Rory Cowlam, will reveal the secrets of the ups and downs of the difficult profession of a veterinarian. The author talks not only about animal welfare and the most incredible cases in his work, but also about the psychological state of veterinarians who work in a stressful industry associated with life and death. In an era where doctors and nurses are speaking more openly about the reality of saving human lives, Rory shows the vital services veterinarians offer to care for animals. It describes the demanding experience of veterinary school, offers a very humane perspective on what it means to handle animals, and talks about the little-discussed consequences for veterinarian mental health.
