    <![CDATA[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 life-threatening stomach condition, and over the next 24 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.  He wants to take you along for the ride....From the frontlines of modern medicine, <em>Tell Me Where It Hurts</em> 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. Dr. Trout takes the reader on a vicarious journey through twenty-four 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.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I was a bit disappointed by this book.  The decision to fictionalize the work of several years in one fake day - well, I'm sure you get the vibe that I found it unbelievable &amp; that it took away from the validity of what weren't really all that remarkable cases to me.  It also wasn't all that funny. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20413082">more...</a>]]></body>
