Tell Me Where It Hurts

Humor, Healing and Hope in my Life as an Animal Surgeon

By: Dr. Nick Trout

Narrated by: Simon Vance

From the frontlines 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 21st century.

Dr. Trout takes the listener on a vicarious journey through 24 intimate, heartrending hours in his life. His wry, companionable voice offers enlightening and engaging anecdotes about cuddly (or not-so-cuddly) pets and their variously zany, desperate, and demanding owners. If you've ever had a pet or special place in your heart for furry friends, Dr. Trout's inspiring account of loving and healing animals is for you.

Very good book about a day in life of a veterinarian

As a healthcare professional for people and an animal lover, I enjoyed Dr Trout’s accounts during a day as a veterinarian! I could relate to the medical dilemmas and challenges with the celebration of successes. I could also relate to the families impacted.

Enjoyable stories but egotistical author

Very much enjoyed the small stories woven throughout but feel the author is a bit egotistical.

Tell Me Where It Hurts

I kind of expected this book to be hilarius like a James Harriot novel but it wasn't. Didn't finish it. Linda

absolute necessity for every pet owner or pre-vet

a wonderfully written account of some of the biggest hardships that the humans that treat animals face on a daily basis in their career. so many questions are answered for pet owners, and so much relatability for those in the veterinary field.

A day in the life

The book covers a single day in this veterinarians life with the exception that there is plenty of background material. It is not a comedy per se although there are humorous parts. it does contain Enough biology to make some parts a tad squeamish. I believe the Reader did About as good a job as could be hoped for, Maybe not a five that I have given, but they don’t have 4 1/2.
