Books : Clinical Textbook for Veterinary Technicians Sixth EditionIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - A great reference and study guide!This book has been a great help in Intro to Veterinary Technology class. Every time I open it I learn something useful. There are great sections on the inner workings of veterinary hospitals and clinics, and tons of information on safety. It's a very inviting book; easy to read, comprehensive and informative. I have nothing negative to say about it. I think this book is going to be very useful to me even after I graduate. It will get a prominent spot on my bookshelf. It's worth every penny and I highly recommend it! Rating:  - Rarely used!Not very usefull, rarely used it. Wouldn't be much different if I never bought it, did not learn much from it. Rating:  - Unnecessarily Wordy - Not For Use as a Practical GuideI recently started working in a veterinarian office to get clinical hours for my veterinary school application. I bought this book based on the Amazon reviews so that I could study and look a bit less clueless around the hospital :) The first chapter I read was on animal restraint, and it was very frustrating. I feel like the text was bloated to make some sort of length requirement because the chapter's sections go on and on with very little meat to it. (Do we really need it spelled out several times in excruciating detail why it's bad if an animal escapes or bites someone?) You'll get almost the same value from just reading the one sentence highlighted summaries sprinkled through the text as you do from reading the whole thing. Based off the many more positive reviews here, I guess the book may be more appropriate as a textbook, and less so for a practical guide for learning procedures you'll be expected to perform in a clinical setting. Rating: - TitleThis book was required by my school but i love it, great information and wonderful pictures! Rating: - very basicthis book is very basic, if you have more than a year's work at a clinic you might be bored. A good beginner book for Vet Techs who dont have any in clinic experience. |
