Listening to the Animals: Becoming The Supervet

Product Information

I admire Noel Fitzpatrick and what he does to help animals so reading this was quite an eye-opener as he has had a big struggle in his life to get to where he is today. So, I shall continue to be in awe of what the author has achieved, and rather sad that he has sacrificed so much to achieve it, but I'm afraid that I won't be reading any more books by him. He talked a lot about his love of Kiera, a little dog that he shares with a vet nurse because he is aware that his lifestyle is not one that would be fair for a dog.

When The Supervet began, Noel wanted to tell a story about love and hope, within the context of the medical revolution of incredible science. I have been a huge fan of the TV show The Supervet, so when I discovered there was a book out about Professor Noel Fitzpatrick I knew I had to get a copy and I’m so glad I did. A powerful, heart-warming and inspiring memoir from the UK’s most famous and beloved vet, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick – star of the Channel 4 series The Supervet.He has a wonderful work, and life, ethic - believing that you can achieve anything if you work hard enough for it.

I actually found this provoked a strange mixture of admiration for what he has achieved (and sacrificed) but also quite hard going as it delves into some very deep and important issues, this wasn't helped by the writing which I found quite inaccessible and difficult to understand and certain concepts were repeated almost verbatim several times, maybe this was done deliberately to provide emphasis, but I found it a bit irritating. I did enjoy discovering how he got his practice up and running and the hurdles he met along the way.

If there is anyone out there who wonders what it must be like to be utterly obsessed with achieving one's goals in life - well - this is your book. Globally recognised for his innovative surgical solutions for animals, Noel has developed dozens of new techniques, including several world-firsts, that have provided hope where none seemed possible to provide quality of life for his patients.
