Overview
World-renowned Angell Memorial is where thousands of frantic pet owners go when Fluffy, Spot, or Tweety is suffering. Stephen Sawicki followed the dramas of Angell staffers, pets, and pet owners for a year as he documented what went on inside the hallowed halls of Angell. Among the staffers profiled are the chief of staff who would rather be operating than imposing budgets; a young intern who throws heart, soul, and every waking hour into Angell; the head of the internship program who is dedicated almost to a fault; the hard-nosed ICU nurse who is known to spar with interns and veterinarians alike; and the seasoned pathologist who remains an enthusiastic hunter. Sometimes thrilling, sometimes maddening, always inspiring, the drama never ends.Editorials

Although the title suggests a book limited to a discussion of veterinary medicine, the insights into the personalities of the various staff members will interest people who like to read about dedicated individuals.
