It helps for a veterinarian to be an animal lover. It doesn't help for her to be allergic to cats. But Karen Fine didn't let that stop her. Nor was she cowered by the fact that, in the 1980s, when she went to vet school, almost all the students were male. She followed in her physician grandfather's path and became a veterinarian who made house calls, 'laid hands' on her patients and always took time to listen — both the the pets and the caretakers. Fine's new book, ' The Other Family Doctor ' is a collection of stories she amassed while practicing veterinary medicine.
