I find it interesting that most of the support comes from DVM and negative from LVT.  Obviously if this proposal was taking away from the value of a DVM I would expect the consensus would be different. I have seen many practices already who do not employ an LVT (or are unable to keep/find one) due to toxic environment or the desire to save money by having unlicensed personnel preform the tasks of an LVT for less hourly pay. I do not believe we should lower our standards or devalue our LVTs because practice owners and DVMs wish to cut corners for cost. This kind of thing would never happen in human medicine and I find the proposal a cheap excuse that not only devalues our LVTs but lowers the standard of care we should give out patients. I do not agree with this proposal and I am disappointed in the DVMS who wish to potentially put our patients lives in danger for the sake of avoiding paying and employing an LVT.
