This week Michelle Fern welcomes Dr. Karen Fine, author of The Other Family Doctor.  For 25 years, Karen operated a house call practice, and her main approach to patients is meeting them where they are—she’s done many appointments from a bathtub or laundry room, places where the animal feels most comfortable. After years of going into other people’s homes, The Other Family Doctor is our opportunity to peek behind the curtain of what it’s really like to be a vet.
