Review

Brendan reviews an obscure book and topic this week: The Black Prince And The Sea Devils. It is a fascinating story of an Italian nobleman, Prince Junio Valerio Borghese, founder of the first modern naval commando squad. After the Italian capitulation in 1943, Borghese determinedly fought on as a Fascist commando leader. After the war, he became a man of mystery, variously said to be involved with several right-wing conspiracies, abortive coups, and clandestine activity. It’s an 8.6 from Brendan.

Main Topic: Locum work

Many veterinarians will work as a locum at some stage in their life. Some make locum work their career. This week Brendan and Mark discuss their experiences working as locums and provide their thoughts – and some tips and traps of navigating the locum world.
