Some of My Best Patients Were Animals tells the story of Dr. K.C. Nayfield's career in veterinary medicine. During his over forty years of practice he treated a wide variety of animals, including wildlife, which resulted in some interesting tales. Although his practice was in Florida, he made several good will medical and surgical trips to the Bahamas and Cuba.
If you are looking for a feel-good read, this is it. I took my time reading it, because I wanted the joy to last. Dr. Nayfield’s stories recall his college years including vet school experiences, but mostly share tales of many animal patients he cared for throughout his life as a small town veterinarian in Florida. Many are funny; others are heartwarmingly sad. The memories of a volunteer trip he and another vet took o Cuba in support of Cuban vets posed an eye-opening account of life in that country. I totally enjoyed this book!
