The Life of Dr. Naquin

Dave, Anna, and Kayleigh….

We interviewed a man who was al ot different compared to us. His name is Mark David Naquin Sr. He was born on November 29, 1956 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This state is a place where had nothing but seafood and beer, so it was pretty obvious that he was a person that loved to party back in his days. His job as a career is being an Anesthesiologist. He has done this job for at least 20 to 25 years. But, when he was younger, he wanted to be a mortician because he didn’t think he would be smart enough to be a doctor. During high school, he ran track and a first baseman at baseball, so it’s really obvious he didn’t do anything artsy. However, back in 80s, he did have a chance to see Mikhail Baryshnikov live in Spartanburg, South Carolina. But he injured his foot, so he saw Rudolf Nureyev, who takes Baryshnikov’s place. He told me that it was obvious that other dancers were better because he was older, but Nureyev was still amazing. As he graduated high school, he thought about being a doctor again and was willing to take the challenge. He did this because back in his day, being a doctor was the job to make a lot of money. So, he went to LSU (Louisiana State University) and studied really hard, and went to medical school to get his medical license and doctorate degree. He tells it’s a very scary job, but he loves his job because he’s good at these things. Afterwards, I thought I would ask him what social capital like in Baton Rouge, Louisiana was. He told me where he came from, he was in the college community since he live really close to LSU. He told me how interesting it was about the state because south of Louisiana was people who speak French, and north of Louisiana was rednecks
