VET ON CALL: MY FIRST YEAR AS AN OUT-OF-HOURS VET
Book ID/图书代码： 11340010B40518
English Summary/英文概要： Marc Abraham was something of a free spirit. While his contemporaries were becoming partners in veterinary practices, Marc was still skipping town every few months to go snowboarding. Then came the day when Marc’s father sat him down and gave him a challenge he couldn’t ignore: it was time he ‘made something of his life’. Still dedicated to doing things the hard way, Marc talked a local practice into letting him set up an ’after hours’ emergency clinic dedicated entirely to animals. And so began the hardest period of Marc’s career yet.
If getting used to the long nightshifts wasn’t bad enough, emergency cases are by their very nature complicated. Whether it was a dog in cardiac arrest or a gerbil in need of an emergency caesarean, every decision could be life-changing, and every case had the potential for heartbreak. Often there was a panicked owner who needed TLC themselves.
But animals and their owners also brought about the most comic series of events, such as the local lord who unwittingly gave his St Bernard four testicles or the cat that laid an ‘egg’. And then there was the time Marc provided a donkey for the local school’s nativity, who mid-perfomance ate the Baby Jesus …
Over the course of twelve tough months, the ER begins to flourish, and Marc proves to his father – and himself – that perhaps he has substance after all. Writing guilelessly about his early mistakes, and the terror and joy involved in attempting to save an animal’s life, Marc Abraham’s memoir is a heart-warming, compelling and thoroughly entertaining look at the life of an ER vet.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 马克•阿布拉姆汗（Marc Abraham）追求自由。尽管投身兽医业，他还是每隔数月忙里偷闲进行单板滑雪锻炼。直到有一天，他的父亲交给他一项无法忽视的挑战：他该为自己的人生做出点贡献了，不能继续庸庸碌碌荒废下去了。 马克力排众难，靠着坚定不移的毅力和恒心，开办了一家动物急救诊所，开始了兽医的艰难职业生涯。
如果适应长时间的夜班不算坏的话，那么更难熬的要数急救事件了。每一个决定都是生死攸关的。尤其还有急的三魂丢了两魂的主人一旁添乱。
可是，有悲就有喜，急诊室的故事趣事也多多。马克无怨无悔。
一年后，急诊室扩大，马克向父亲证明了自己的实力。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
