keen insights into the human condition, among other things

In the realm of veterinary literature, some books encapsulate the love and cameraderie between humans and animals with aplomb, and some hooooooooooooo!!!! A book can wheeeee wheeeeeeeeeeee wheeeeee! Some books are hoooooooo! Oh man. Sheeez. Get it together, Kirkman. Some books, like this one, some books hoooooo hooooooo. This thing kills me.

Wonderful, a great addition to my collection!

I highly recommend this book. It belongs in my collection along with all my James Herriot books! It is heartwarming and very funny. Also, Dr. Brown explains certain animal diseases and conditions in an down to earth, easy to understand way. I am a farmer and I found that I understand several diseases of our animals even better now. I only wish the book was longer. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it and I was very sorry to get to the last page. I wanted to read more of those wonderful animal stories. I would like to thank Dr. Brown for writing such a great book, and I sure hope he considers writing another one.

From J. Kaye's Book Blog

WHILE YOU'RE HERE DOC is about a DVM's experiences through out his career. In this book you will find hilarious tales about cows, horses, a monkey, and many more. You will be amazed about the things that happen in the country. The saddest story is about a dog named Rover, the owner's boyfriend wanted to kill Rover had cancer and the boyfriend thought he would catch it. Dr. Brown put a stop to that and told him that no one can catch cancer from an animal.

Why I recommend this book is because it's heartwarming. When you pick it up you can't put it down.

Animal Lovers Are In For A Treat

I discovered this book from a review in the Maine Sunday Telegram. "Small farms and their close, personal way of living... come alive for us in Brown's humorous, compassionate stories of struggling farm life."
You get first-hand accounts of the doc trying to save an ox that's choking on a too large potato or rescuing a cow from a love-struck moose. It's all told with enthusiasm and wry humor.

Wonderful Book!

I'm so glad I bought this book! I have read it twice...bet you can't read it just once. Get a copy it is great for all ages!

Veterinarian Brad Brown never knew what to expect when he was called out to a farm to deal with a sick cow or an injured horse. Invariably the cash-strapped farmer would say, "While you?re here, Doc" and rattle off a list of surprise medical chores that weren?t part of the original call. But whether he was trying to geld a spooked stallion in a blizzard or found himself in the middle of an all-out fracas involving a monkey?s abscessed tooth and a shotgun, Dr. Brown took it in stride, with great affection for his four-legged patients as well as his two-legged clients. James Herriot, Baxter Black, and E. B. White rolled into one and wearing rubber boots, Brad Brown gives us a wonderful set of stories from the life of a country vet.
