This is a terrible idea! I've seen some trained LVTs bad at IVC placement. What makes you think that by watching it done before makes an assistant know how it's done. Do they know that they shouldn't insert the stylet after it's already out because you can cause a thrombus? What about the sick patients? Working in internal medicine most of our pets are very ill. Are they going to try and place IVC multiple times at the expense of the patient? Then we are no veins left to hit after a 5-10 day hospital stay? Do they know how to properly clean the site and where to start placement? No. BAD. BAD. BAD. Also, we already get paid badly- how are we going to get jobs if assistants can get paid for cheaper?
