About the Book

"Dishing the dirt on what it's really like to work in a vet clinic." Dr. Philipp Schott DVM, author The Accidental Veterinarian With years of experience as a Registered Veterinary Technician, Frannie O'Callaghan offers an unapologetic window into the daily encounters of the humans who take care of pets. This whip-smart but darkly humorous confessional spans from the Patients who bite, claw, urinate, or defecate in scrub pockets. Are the few and farther in-between moments of wagging tails and slobbering tongues worth it? Then come the outlandish Clients, including the heinous antics of a local man of the cloth, or the conspiracy theorists convinced of veterinary schemes to "grab 'em and stab 'em." All the way to Coworkers along for the bloody, vomit-filled daily grind. For a job that demands a high skill level and stress-tolerance for relatively little monetary compensation, Vet Techs need a reason to stay. Moments of levity, healing patients, colleagues helping to push through this absurd profession, or cuddling beloved animal companions-somewhere amid the chaos is beauty that brings them to work every day. Between heavy doses of swearing, snark, licking wounds, and an occasional jab at the heartstrings, SOAP Notes: Irreverent Confessions of a Veterinary Technician dishes up the roaring, goring, and never boring chronicles of veterinary life.

About the Author :
Frannie O'Callaghan has been a licensed veterinary technician for over a decade. Apart from examining feces under a microscope, she's an avid historical fiction reader, shameless pun-user, and amateur baker. A travel nerd, she's most content hiking the Old Man of Storr during inhospitable Scottish weather, belting 'Auld Lang Syne' in a Dublin pub on New Year's, or bathing with elephants in the Mae Taeng River of Thailand. Her best writing comes with heavy pours of dry prosecco. O'Callaghan lives with her husband, canine dependents, and an unfortunate number of deceased plants due to her brown thumb.

Review :
"Frannie O'Callaghan is like your older sister's super-cool best friend, dishing the dirt on what it's really like to work in a vet clinic. There's a growing body of 'vet lit', but this is the first book I'm aware of from the vet tech's perspective, and O'Callaghan nails it. From the gross to the beautiful, from the ordinary to the extraordinary, and from the tragic to the hilarious, she covers it all with style and verve. I would consider it a must read for anyone interested in working in a veterinary clinic, or even just anyone interested in the workings of a veterinary clinic." Dr. Philipp Schott DVM, author The Accidental Veterinarian, and the Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery series "O'Callaghan's conversational style vignettes are raw and honest. She takes us to the back room of the vet clinic to give us an inside look at the important work Veterinary Technicians do, and reminds us that it's not all petting puppies and kittens. A must-read for animal lovers!" Melinda G.McCall, D.V.M. Driving Home Naked and other misadventures of a country veterinarian "A must read for anyone wishing to pursue the career path of credentialed veterinary technician. It provides a glimpse of the real day to day challenges and the dark humor we acquire from facing them. The harsh reality is we all end up a varying degree of dead inside. If you don't, you're lucky." Kendra Dostaler, RVT, VTS (EVN) Kendra the Vet Tech Podcast "SOAP Notes is a tenacious narrative full of humor, wisdom, and compassion. Always wanted an honest, inside glimpse into the world of vet med? Here's your chance!" Joan Gorman, RVT, MWVT Program Coordinator, American Hero VT Finalist 2016 (American Humane Society), and aforementioned Elder in the Profession
