The other family doctor: a veterinarian explores what animals can teach us about love, life, and mortality.

Karin Fine knew that she wanted to be a vet and wasn't going to let anything stop her, not her allergies to cats and not the fact that in the 80s veterinary medicine was still a mostly male profession. Inspired by her grandfather, a compassionate doctor who paid house calls to all his (human) patients, Dr. Fine persevered, and brought Oupa's principles into her own practice, which emphasizes the need to understand her patient's stories to provide the best possible care.
