The short work of fiction, at the link below, is by the writer Rivka Galchen. The story, "How I Became a Vet" (about a veterinarian), is from the March 13, 2023 issue of The New Yorker; it appeared on the magazine's website on March 6th.
I think it is beautifully written, and beautifully conceived.
