178. We interview Dr. William Green. author of Doc, Did I Wake You Up?
Do you ever wonder what a day or night in the life of a rural
veterinarian might be like? In his book, Dr. Green tells stories
about animals, their owners, and other unique characters that he
encountered in his years of veterinary practice. You almost feel
that you were present when the events took place. Animal lovers
will enjoy the heartwarming stories, the humorous stories, and
the almost unbelievable true stories about animals and their
caretakers. Dr. Green talks about treating cats, dogs, and cows
during the daytime and then skunks, horses, or elephants at
night. Each day brought something different-most of which was
unplanned. Needless to say, days and nights were long, and sleep
came at a premium. When he did get a chance to rest he dreaded
that middle of the night phone call that began with, "Doc, did I
wake you up?" Dr. Green was a veternarian there in the small
rural community of Dubach, LA, for 27 years. Since the mid 90's,
he's been at Louisiana Tech as a professor and now as the
director of the School of Agricultural Sciences and Forestry.

the Mississippi valley, and it's still in operation today.
