Absolutely not
 
My vote is no. Catheter placement should only be allowed by those who have been properly educated and who are licensed to perform such tasks. The patients (and their owners) deserve a higher standard of care than that. Do you not see the immense possibilities for errors and poor practice by even suggesting/supporting this??
