Each of us had a dream as a child. We looked up into the sky, imagined taking off in a rocket into space, imagined ourselves on the stage of theaters, dreamed of amazing discoveries in the depths of the Egyptian pyramids.
The little Irish boy Noel had his own dream – to heal animals as a real superhero. He devoted his whole life to this dream, making it his goal. Giving up his personal life, working hard and spending all his free time on research, Noel wanted to become like the hero of his fantasies – Wetman the superveterinarian.
Now Professor Noel Fitzpatrick is the world’s leading veterinary orthopaedic neurosurgeon, star of The Supervet on Channel 4 and The Bionic Vet on BBC One, a certified Guinness World Record holder for pioneering hind paw replacement surgery on a cat, and founder of two major specialist veterinary clinics.
His story is a remarkable and inspiring tale of a man who pursued his goal against all odds and achieved his dream without ever straying from his path. “Working as a veterinary surgeon, I try to keep the light of hope in the hearts of my young colleagues; in the children for whom I try to be an example; in the cynics and tired people ready to give up. I want to teach everyone to listen to animals and to each other.” – Noel Fitzpatrick
