I Still Really Wish I Was Joking...: A Collection of Short Stories from a Veterinary Professional


Overview

You thought I Wish I Was Joking... was the end of the madness. You were wrong. So was I. In I Still Wish I Was Joking..., veteran veterinary technician Michael Lavoie returns with another unforgettable collection of true stories from the exam rooms, kennels, and hallways of veterinary medicine-where science collides daily with superstition, logic takes frequent coffee breaks, and absolutely nothing is ever as simple as it should be. From clients convinced their dogs don't have hearts, to requests for mind-control microchips, to whispered hallway questions about ""blue balls,"" this book dives headfirst into the surreal moments that live just outside the medical charts. You'll meet rusting dogs, smoking witch cats, fairy-bitten pups, immortal rabbits, mystery noises that turn out to be purring, and pet owners who believe sugar pellets, psychics, or garden spirits deserve the credit for modern medicine. But beneath the laughter lies the true heart of vet med: compassion, exhaustion, resilience, and the deep, sometimes baffling love people have for their animals. These are the moments that happen between emergencies and euthanasias, between science and belief-where veterinary professionals must treat patients, reassure owners, and somehow keep a straight face while doing both. Whether you work in animal care or have simply ever loved a pet a little too much, I Still Wish I Was Joking... is a raw, hilarious, and deeply human look at a profession where every day brings something new-and where the phrase ""you're not going to believe this"" is just the beginning. Because no matter how long you work in veterinary medicine... the stories never stop.
