The Incredible Dr. Pol
Work, an apprenticeship, a place. Better than most of the reality row. Not everything needs to be a crisis edit.
Pol is old, blunt, and still on call for cattle, horses, and the family dog. The clinic is a small business with a younger vet being brought up in it. Reality editing loves the emergency and the odd client. Under the edit is a practice: diagnosis, treatment, a farm that depends on the animal living. That is industry in the old sense.
Fine for a family that can handle medical scenes. Prefer the hours that show the procedure over the hours that show the argument. A craft you can visit is worth more than a personality you can follow.
