Driving Home Naked

[Named'em Tamed'em]

And other misadventures of a country veterinarian. By Melinda G McCall, DVM. Catchy title, huh?

Recommending this book, primarily for the ladies on CT, and definitely thought @farmerjan would enjoy it. And I know at least one gentleman on CT whose wife is a vet. Dr. McCall is a mobile vet in central Virginia and a single mother with a sense of humor and grit. I know how hard it is for a lot of women in Ag to be taken seriously, and certainly a large animal vet, but she wins over even the crotchetiest old men. Plus, I learned about Query fever, which can be transmitted to humans by a single spore (initial diagnosis was brucellosis - yikes!). Anyway, just a good read that all of us can relate to.

I'll check it out.

I actually did drive around naked with a doctor boyfriend one night on the local back country dirt roads in Texas. Medical professionals have to have some way to release the stress of their work.

How difficult is it for an American to move to Australia?

(askin for a friend..)

 

[greybeard]

I have driven around naked a few times in my life, most often with my current wife when we were younger. . The most difficult was in a 2 seat Pontiac Fiero.
and that's allI got to say about that.......

Best vet I ever used was a female. Coldsprings Texas. If she couldn't come out pretty quick or return a call within 30 minutes, there was something serious going on elsewhere.

One hopes driving while naked not to be pulled over by the Sheriff.

I am going to take the 5th on this one. Let's just say I rode in rodeos. A bunch of crazy 20 something year old guys who suffer from testosterone poisoning who get on bucking horses and bulls for the fun of it. The stories we could tell.

I have always enjoyed my dad's and uncles stories when they were rodeoing.

I had to get you and Cfpinz something for Christmas!

That's what I'm talking about!

TC - The "Driving Home Naked" book has been laying on our kitchen counter for a couple of weeks now, don't think the wife has started reading it yet, though.

As an aside, if anyone knows of a young vet (or two) that would like to work in a large animal only practice in Virginia, I can put them in contact.

I do lots of work in Australia, you may want to do some research before you decide to live there

didn't see the pics so that could be an influence, Australia does have a high percentage of attractive women

A couple years ago a lady vet came to pull a calf from a cow i had purchased. She got so much manure and blood on herself i wouldn't have blamed her if she drove naked.

You should read it as well! Seriously, I think you'd like it!

That said, if you or anyone knows of a large animal vet that wants to move to KS, we could definitely use another one!!!

That's hilarious! Notice they all have the quintessential farmers tan? (and so do I, so not judging!).

Driving home naked is much better than walking home naked. Just an observation.

Walking home naked would be the walk of shame.

 

[StrojanHerefords]

I know too many good men who have got screwed over by spiteful women to call out a lady vet on an emergency call. Men and women are different and the needs of a large animal veterinary practice isn't women's work.

....... and the needs of a large animal veterinary practice isn't women's work.

I know quite a few female vets that I consider on par with their male counterparts, and are welcome at my farm anytime.
