The Man In The White Coat: A Veterinarian's Tail Of Love

By Roger L Welton DVM

Becoming a veterinarian and working as a veterinarian is far more than playing with cute and fuzzy creatures. In this book, veterinarian Dr. Roger Welton offers readers an intimate look into his extraordinary life on his path to becoming a doctor of veterinary medicine, owner of two veterinary practices, creating one of the most frequented animal health media outlets in the world, and being recognized as a world renowned expert in veterinary integrative medicine. While a veterinary educational experience and a veterinary career are extraordinary, they are ultimately the culmination and realization of love of and reverence for animals, uniquely coupled with a passion for science and the scientific method. These attributes do not suddenly appear out of thin air, but have their roots in who we are as people, what we experience in life, and the people that inspire us along the way. Dr. Roger (as his clients, readers, and podcast listeners refer to him) takes us from his beginnings as a little boy in New Jersey just fascinated with animals through to present day and all of the experiences in between that formed the man and veterinarian he is today. This book is great for both those with an interest in one day becoming a veterinarian or for people who simply love animals and want to know what it is like to be a veterinarian, and to share in the good feelings that come with moving stories of pets and the people who love them. As they embark on this journey with Dr. Roger, readers will learn that the road to achieving extraordinary goals is not paved in gold but instead paved with ups and downs, triumph and failure, elation and grief.
