What a Way to Make a Living: Tales of a Small Town Veterinarian

No two days are alike for a veterinarian in a small town. In the middle of a day filled with mostly vaccinations and check-ups, a Labrador Retriever may somehow swallow a stick that is lodged dangerously close to his jugular vein. Or a cat may find its way inside a wall. Or a pet owner may decide to give oral medication as a shot between the shoulder blades. Add to that the many and varied situations involving cows, horses, and even a tiger, and you have the makings of a challenging and exciting career.

What a Way to Make a Living! tells the story of Dr. Steve Pearson and the many friends, employees, clients, and patients he encountered during his twenty-nine years as the owner of Pearson Animal Hospital in Hartselle, Alabama. While veterinary medicine underwent many changes during that time, the relationships forged, and the lessons learned, remain timeless.
