It appears that the foX is guarding the hen house and regulatory standards to protect animals (and their owners) are being weakened.  Veterinary care is expensive and I EXPECT to be dealing with a licensed professional NOT A STUDENT PRACTITIONER.  IF I am properly informed depending on my animals temperament and condition I might approve a student but this should be entirely up to me...not some vet clinic manager using student labor to maximize profits at the expense of my animal's care.

I pay taxes for oversight and regulation but this regulatory board appears to need oversight itself!  The corruption in government is becoming too much and this trend needs to be reversed.  THANK HEAVENS I AM CLOSE TO A BORDER AND IF THIS IS NOT REVERSED I WILL BE DRIVING TO NC FOR MY VETERINARY NEEDS.
