All Things Cold and Slimy

Whether you're interested in what veterinary school is really like, or what it's like to dodge a 15-foot python, you've got to read this book! Strap on your stethoscope and prepare to enter our private little world like you never dreamed you could. Many have imagined it, but few have lived it, until now. This is the delightful story of a modern American veterinarian from his beginnings with animals to his veterinary school experience, and his trial by fire in the real world. Follow the adventures of Dr. John Rossi, a nationally known exotic animal veterinarian and author, as he deals with cool animals and their sometimes-colorful owners. Feel the human side of veterinary medicine; live with him through both some very funny and very intense experiences. From his teenage days to veterinary school, and beyond, this book is truly a walk on the wild side. You'll feel like you're standing right next to him in some of his vet school classes, wondering if that's really where you want to be. You'll join him for late night surgeries and some truly unique cases. You'll follow him into the wilderness as he hunts for unusual animals to learn more about their care. You will live with him as he is challenged by professors, employers, journalists, clients, employees, heartbreak and even a tornado! His unique struggle will inspire you, warm your heart, and make you wonder if you really have what it takes to be a vet! You'll sense the fear, feel the frustrations, and know the compassion that go along with this noble, but very exclusive profession.
