Books

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a really good week, today’s post is about my favorite book and that's a problem because I haven’t a favorite book. I DON’T EVEN LIKE TO READ! I never liked to read; maybe I don’t have the necessary concentration or never really interested me a book, I don’t know. I definitely prefer to wait until the movie comes out, I love watching movies and obviously takes much less time, even that time is not the problem because it could spend hours watching movies but not reading a book.

You may wonder how I did in college when I had to read books by obligation, well I never finished reading a book (except “Emilia y la dama negra” like in fourth grade), obviously I use to pretending to read a lot because otherwise my mother would punish me, but I only read the first chapters. When the test was coming, I read many summaries with features of the text, characters and stuff like that; and the day of the test I hear everything that my classmates commented about the book and if I had any questions about what I had read in the summary I asked them. I never got a bad grade and when I told my father about it he told me that he did the same when he went at school.

David Taylor

Hi everyone!

Today's topic is about a person you admire in your field and I haven’t admired anyone, so then I searched on the internet and found a vet who caught my attention because I would like to be a surgeon and I love zoo animals.

His name is David Taylor; he was the first veterinary surgeon to specialise in zoo and wildlife medicine. He was born on February 11, 1934 and passed away on January 29, 2013.

David Taylor was born in Rochdale, England and qualified at the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine in 1956. He was awarded the first RCVS Fellowship for a wild animal topic (diseases of primates) in 1968, and was recognized as an RCVS specialist in zoo and wildlife medicine, areas where he made significant contributions. He was known for his inventive and unusual treatments, on one occasion successfully treating a hemorrhaging killer whale by feeding it black puddings.

Taylor worked with zoo and wild animals from 1957, acting as a consultant on the treatment of some of the rarest species on Earth. Taylor worked for zoos across the world and he also worked for some of the most famous circuses in the world.

In 1976 he founded the International Zoo Veterinary Group (IZVG) with his partner Andrew Greenwood and the Dinnes Memorial Veterinary Centre in California. Today, the IZVG is one of the largest and best-known independent zoological veterinary practices in the world. In March 2008, Taylor retired from the International Zoo Veterinary Practice though he still acted as a consultant and continued to be a prolific writer until his death.

I think that I just fell in love with this man, I hope one day I can have his career.
