Abstract:
“The Versatile Veterinarian” details the life of Bobby, Bob, The Hick, Robert, Dr. Kahrs, Professor Kahrs, and Dean Kahrs. It describes: A Long Island Legacy, Athletic Activities, Cornell Challenges, Interlaken Interludes, Activities in Attica, Faculty Frustrations, Fabulous Florida, Momentous Missouri Moments, International Interactions, Action in Antigua, and Wrestling with Writing. After Bob graduated from veterinary college, most pressures evaporated. New challenges soon emerged while doctoring dogs, comforting cats, corralling cattle, helping horses, and contending with client characteristics. This book provides inside looks at veterinary education, livestock and pet practice, academic politics, international trade relations, and challenges facing would-be authors.
