My Patients and Other Animals Book Information:

A moving memoir of a life spent in the company of animals a veterinarian sheds light on the universal experience of loving, healing and losing our beloved pets and the many ways they change our lives.The pursuit of a childhood dream has taken Suzy Fincham Gray on a journey in veterinary medicine from pastoral farms on the English welsh border to emergency rooms in urban American animal hospitals, with thousands of stories collected along the way. In this unforgettable literary debut, she writes about some of the most emotionally challenging and rewarding cases of her career.Like many physicians, tends to see her patients at often life-or-death moments. While dramatic, these stories expand into deeper explorations of our complex, profound relationships with the animals in our lives. She describes the satisfaction of diagnosing and treating difficult diseases and the universal experience of loving a pet and inevitably raises questions about their end-of-life care. We meet Grayling, an Irish wolfhound in need of critical treatment, we learn about the fulfilment of caring for a chronically ill pet from the story of Zeke, a silver-brown tabby cat who likes to eat just a little too much and we fall in love with Monty and Emma, Fincham Grays own adopted cat and dog, who change her life in joyful and unexpected ways. Fincham-Gray depicts the sleepless nights she spends waiting for her pager to call her to the clinic, the cutthroat competition among residents and what its really like to care for patients who cant advocate for themselves.Warm and humorous, Suzy is a rare breed a clinician with an intimate, elegant literary style. She writes with the same tenderness she brings to her patients, whose needs she must meet with her mind, her hands and her heart.Suzy gives readers rare insight into the making of a compassionate doctor. Her passion for both science and the animals she cares for, combined with her eloquence as a writer, made me want Suzy as both my dogs veterinarian and my own friendTeresa J. Rhyne, author of the #1 New York times bestseller the dog lived (and so will I).
