The Making of a Veterinarian & other stories - Paperback

by DVM David E. Larsen (Author)

Dr. Sanders handed me the flashlight after I jumped into the pigpen. Then he scrambled in after me. The wind still stung our faces as it blew through the wide slats in the fence. We duck walked back toward the corner the boys had pointed out to us. At least all the manure was frozen solid. This would be just as interesting in the summer, I thought. from "Twas the Night Before Christmas" - The Making of a Country Veterinarian

------------------

This second edition of Dr. David E. Larsen's fifth book in his Memoirs of a Country Vet series contains all the stories from the first edition plus many new ones that continue to describe his early years in veterinary medicine. From tending to a sick cow when he was a kid, through high school, college, an Army enlistment, more college and, finally, veterinary school, this active farm boy with a diverse background from Oregon's Coquille River Valley became the country vet he aspired to and his struggles and life events and challenges that shaped him as a veterinarian. For forty years, Dave served the animals in his care with skill and expertise and their owners with knowledge, grace, and humor.
