Veterinary Community Service
As I walked into the Oakwood Veterinary Clinic there was a large, off-white receptionist desk. It was covered with dozens of pictures, on one side pictures of client’s pets and on the other side personal pictures; it also has about ten figures of dogs and cats on it most of them have wings. On one side of this desk is a Science Diet display and a fifty-five gallon fish tank. The fish tank, for a rather large tank, only had two fish and they both were plecostomus, part of the catfish family. The other side had four chairs with a long side table covered completely with magazines ranging from Dog World to People Magazine.

By eleven to three I try to complete all the spays, neuters, and other surgeries and the rest of the day is committed to appointments. My clinic is a branch off of Midwest Veterinary Hospital so when I am out of town my patents are sent there, unless my veterinarian technicians can take care of them. I also work emergency hours, after eight o’clock, two days a week over there” as he described his normal day he reflects on one tragic week. was so critical that I knew as a vet I wasn’t doing enough. I saw an English Bulldog with a two by four through his chest the people around it had to kill him just to keep him from suffering!” He was now looking straight down petting a young labrador retriever. “Dr. Gregg M Ohmann ‘Our Hero’ for being a personal savior to the lost and injured pets during the May 3, 1999 tornado. Your place in heaven awaits you” a quote from a Husky trophy proudly displayed on a table. The clinic was even recognized by Senator Ben Brown. He sent a State of Oklahoma Citation of Commendation to Oakwood Veterinary Clinic. “Oakwood recognized the love and attachment people have for their pets and provided emergency
