SUMMARY:FL JCC Virtual Author Event - Karen Fine
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our FL JCC’s Summer Virtual Author Series. \nMonday\, June 9 at 3:30 pm with Karen Fine\, author of The Other Family Doctor. \nA heart­warm­ing mem­oir about one wom­an’s career as a vet and the unique role pets play in our lives. Karen Fine always knew that she want­ed to be a vet and was­n’t going to let any­thing stop her: not her aller­gy 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 her Oupa’s prin­ci­ples into her own prac­tice\, which empha­sizes the need to under­stand her patients’ sto­ries to pro­vide the best pos­si­ble care. \nWoven into Dr. Fine’s sto­ry are\, of course\, also the sto­ries of her own pets: the birds\, cats\, and dogs who have taught her the most valu­able lessons — how car­ing for the ani­mals in our lives can teach us to bet­ter care for our­selves\, espe­cial­ly when life seems precarious. \nDr. Karen Fine is a holis­tic vet­eri­nar­i­an who is fas­ci­nat­ed by the rela­tion­ships between ani­mals and their peo­ple. She is an asso­ciate vet­eri­nar­i­an at Cen­tral Ani­mal Hos­pi­tal in Leomin­ster\, Mass­a­chu­setts. For twen­ty-five years she owned and oper­at­ed her own house call prac­tice in cen­tral Mass­a­chu­setts. Dr. Fine is cer­ti­fied in vet­eri­nary acupunc­ture through the Inter­na­tion­al Vet­eri­nary Acupunc­ture Soci­ety. A lead­ing expert in the emerg­ing field of vet­eri­nary nar­ra­tive med­i­cine\, she has also authored a text­book called Nar­ra­tive Med­i­cine in Vet­eri­nary Prac­tice. \nTopic: The Other Family Doctor with author Karen Fine \nTime: Jun 9\, 2025 03:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82163520787?pwd=MgtvujVa5DldQje3mDGEcLqPjbYU1Z.1 \nMeeting ID: 821 6352 0787 \nPasscode: VET
