Doc Battey Profile

I started out as a child. Dysfunctional parents, Mom addicted to amphetamines, lots of nervous tics, poor self-esteem. Joined Navy at age 19, picked by recruiter for Nuclear Power School and nuke sub duty. Served on U.S.S. Vallejo, 16 Polaris A-3 ICBM missiles with total 48 hydrogen bombs on re-entry vehicles. Got out with honorable discharge, finished pre-med & went to Chiropractic college on G.I. Bill. Spent almost 30 years in private practice, unhappy marrage, got divorced, lost everything financially and materially. Worked out at gym, took bottles of supplements & testosterone shots. Got my health, sanity and happiness back, along with about a hundred passionate girlfriends and a state insurance license. Got a wonderful dog, a Min Pin. She got killed by the neighbor's car shortly after my fiance died from her medications. Grieved for many months. Got another Min Pin, spayed female named Lula, who is totally spoiled. Life goes on, loved by Lula, Goliath (a rescue dog, a Chihuahua), numerous ladyfriends. Looking forward to re-writing "Tenacity Gene" and it's sequel and getting them published.
