No. Grafton Mass – The newest cover on the world’s largest-circulation magazine is dedicated to Tufts veterinarians. October’s Reader’s Digest features a section from Animal ER, a new book written about Tufts’ Grafton-based animal emergency room and the Veterinarians who staff it around the clock. “The cutting edge of emergency medicine for animals is constantly evolving in a state-of-the-art, if cramped, department called the Intensive Care Unit at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine,” writes Animal ER author and Boston Globe columnist Vicki Croke. “It is one of a few universities in the United States that give postgraduate residency training in veterinary emergency and critical care.” The 30-page excerpt in Reader’s Digest, which circulates to 50 million Americans, includes stories about a wide variety of the facility’s patients – from house cats to kangaroos, red-tailed hawks to bulls, anorexic anacondas to porcupines in critical condition. Tufts’ animal emergency facilities rely on high-tech equipment and an extremely dedicated staff of faculty and students. Croke writes, “This specialty facility outside Boston is a world where the cutting edge of technology combines with human compassion for injured animals to produce some amazing medical miracles.” Vicki Croke has scheduled several book signings for Animal ER at local bookstores around several of the Tufts campuses. November 1st, Monday, at 7:30 PM, at Barnes and Noble Bookstore (on Rt 9) in Framingham November 4th, Thursday, at 4:30 PM at Tufts University Bookstore (Corner of Professor's Row & Latin Way) in Medford
