100% Against
 

I am so Against letting Assistants Place IVCs. 

I have experience working in a different state that allows them to do this, and it definitely lowers patient care. If we allow them to do this what else will be allowed later on.... now we would have people in  veterinary medicine who are not in school and don’t understand the in-depth information on the why and the how’s. It’s one thing if the person is in school and has learned about it, but just any assistance, no absolutely not. 

This is one of many reasons why I don’t work in states that allow this. 

I really hope this doesn’t get passed.
