## Description

When his father sat him down and told him to "make something" of himself, young vet Marc Abraham decided to do it the hard way—by setting up an emergency "out of hours" clinic. If getting used to the long night shifts wasn’t bad enough, emergency cases are rarely straightforward. Whether it was dog who swallowed golf balls, or a gerbil in urgent need of a caesarean, every case had the potential for heartbreak. But animals and their owners could also be hilarious, such as the breeder who unwittingly gave his German Shepherd four testicles. Over the course of 12 tough months, the clinic began to flourish. Would Marc finally make something of himself after all? Marc Abraham writes guilelessly about his early mistakes, and the terror and joy involved in saving an animal’s life. His memoir is a heartwarming, compelling, and thoroughly entertaining look at the life of a vet on call.

Review: after-hours vet practice anecdotes - I do enjoy books based on veterinarian experiences, so this was almost a slam-dunk. The author describes the trials and tribulations associated with starting up an after-hours veterinarian practice in Brighton, England. Well written, humorous at times and tear-jerking at others, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Reminiscent of the 'All Creatures' series, this book was is full of British terms that may be puzzling to Americans, but all-in-all, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys animal stories.
Review: Enjoyable reading - This book is easy reading, with some laughter and sadness. Anyone interested in how a vet's life might be would find this enjoyable.

Good writing and wonderful animals and people in this book. This is a book that draws you in, but you can read a chapter, come back later and pick it up and be at home once more in the pages.
