  With the imminent arrival of her third child, veterinary surgeon, Gillian Hick, decides to abandon the perils of mixed animal practice, in a favour of setting up a small animal practice from home. When neighbouring farmer, John Armstrong, drops in for a cup of tea and stays to build the new veterinary clinic, the dream becomes a reality.
  As the practice begins to take on a life of its own, the practicalities of running a twenty-four/seven on call business, with the help of her husband and her three exuberantly, enthusiastic pre-school children begins to take its toll.
  From hatching goslings on a moonlit night, to late night calls to celebrity donkeys; from delivering new-borns, to assisting in the final farewells of much-loved patients, the circle of life continues as Gillian struggles to hang on to, not only her sense of humour, but also the last remaining threads of her sanity!

  How Doctors Think

  A New Yorker staff writer, bestselling author, and professor at Harvard Medical School unravels the mystery of how doctors figure out the best treatments—or fail to do so. This book describes the warning signs of flawed medical thinking and offers intelligent questions patients can ask. 
  On average, a physician will interrupt a patient describing her symptoms within eighteen seconds. In that short time, many doctors decide on the likely diagnosis and best treatment. Often, decisions made this way are correct, but at crucial moments they can also be wrong—with catastrophic consequences. In this myth-shattering book, Jerome Groopman pinpoints the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. He explores why doctors err and shows when and how they can—with our help—avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can have a profound impact on our health. This book is the first to describe in detail the warning signs of erroneous medical thinking, offering direct, intelligent questions patients can ask their doctors to help them get back on track. 
  Groopman draws on a wealth of research, extensive interviews with some of the country's best physicians, and his own experiences as a doctor and as a patient. He has learned many of the lessons in this book the hard way, from his own mistakes and from errors his doctors made in treating his own debilitating medical problems. 
  How Doctors Think reveals a profound new view of twenty-first-century medical practice, giving doctors and patients the vital information they need to make better judgments together.

  About Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin 
   According to Navy SEAL officers and bestselling authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, “Extreme Ownership” is the practice of taking responsibility for everything in your world, to an extreme level. Those who follow principles of Extreme Ownership accept ownership of not only those tasks which they directly control, but also those tasks which ultimately affect their success, even if those tasks are the immediate responsibility of someone else. 
  In their book, Extreme Ownership, Jocko and Leif cover the main principles of leadership which they believe ultimately lead to success. They show us that there are only two types of leaders: effective ones and ineffective ones. Effective leaders are those leaders who understand and implement the core building blocks of leadership, which are in turn based on the fundamentals of Extreme Ownership. An effective leader is one who accepts Extreme Ownership as his or her core mindset. An ineffective leader is one who blames or leans too heavily on others. 
  Please note that this summary of Extreme Ownership is NOT the original book and is meant to be read as a supplement to the original.
