Originally titled, AN UNSPOKEN ART, this book re-lives the stories of several very different veterinarians--from the upper east side Manhattan veterinarian for the rich and famous (his clients include the Kennedy family, Henry Kissinger, Mary Tyler Moore) to a zoo veterinarian facing the daily challenges of doctoring elephants, panthers, grizzlies and rattlesnakes. This book focuses on the incredible dedication these doctors have toward the animals they treat, as well as Lee's own wish that MDs be as sensitive to the needs and frailties of their human patients as VMDs are to their animal ones.
