However, I did like this book and I would recommend it if you are interested in animals and their stories, as well as the life of a vet, or if you need that final push to persevere with something.

In this inspiring, uplifting and heart-warming memoir, world-renowned veterinary surgeon Professor Noel Fitzpatrick explores his journey to becoming The Supervet. We meet the animals that paved the way, from calving cows and corralling bullocks to talkative parrots and bionic cats and dogs. Globally recognised for his innovative surgical solutions for animals, Noel has developed dozens of new techniques, including many world-firsts, that have provided hope where none seemed possible.Every now and then I would accidentally pull up a baby turnip in my haste to pluck out the weeds, completely faili I remember the thorns and I remember how many pricks need to go in before I begin not to feel the pain so much. This is a great read and will also have you wanting to hear more about Noel's own struggles and breakthroughs in life! Indeed many sick animals have been referred to Noel by other vets who have reached their limit in the ability to save sick animals.

However, there are times when I felt the book was a little too personal and emotional and that is unusual since I am a very emotional creature myself. Noel is a born story teller where people are concerned but he failed to engage me on the finer points of his profession. We learn about his ambitious journey from taking care of sheep and cows to dogs and cats and the hard work behind.The middle section covers vet school and his early days as a vet, and was for me the most enjoyable part of the book, with some amusing anecdotes to leaven the continuing negativity. I also am very interested in biónics and prostheses and I learnt a lot from this book not only behind the science of them but also behind modern day challenges faced by those interested in these fields; such as wanting to do right by patients vs what makes a practice the most money. He has gone on to specialize in Neuro and Ortho cases, to develop new procedures and new prosthetics for animals, lecture in the UK and Us and open his own hospital, as well as appearing in The Supervet on television. A very honest memoir by the famous veterinary surgeon Noel Fitzpatrick, who runs largest orthopaedic and neuro-surgical facility for pet animals here in the UK.

There is no doubt, however, that he deserves more recognition for his innovative work on surgical implants for both animals and humans. Growing up on an Irish farm was clearly tough and taught Noel some valuable lessons about hard work, although I think that most people will agree that the hours that he puts in are not healthy.

Renowned for performing unique and cutting-edge surgeries, Noel is often the last chance for the animals that have been referred into his care, as he pushes the boundaries of science, medicine and regenerative bionic technology with his compassionate and visionary approach. Much as I like our local practitioners personally, vets generally hold as much appeal for me as they do to my dogs, together we avoid them as much as possible.
