A day in the life of a veterinary surgeon. The narrative and memories of a veterinarian working at an American veterinary center in Massachusetts are framed by events during a twenty-four-hour shift, in which a complex surgical procedure was successfully performed. The author recounts the course of a typical workday at a renowned veterinary clinic. During this time, he describes both common and extraordinary cases of animal patients, discusses various aspects of the relationship between owners and their pets, and reflects on interesting cases from his twenty years of practice. He thoughtfully considers advancements in the field of veterinary medicine, particularly surgery, and examines ethical issues in veterinary practice with accessible language and great humility.
