And so what do they think of all of this?
So what's interesting is that when it comes to just Dutch and telemedicine, we get hundreds of applications from people who want to do telemedicine.
And actually to this point that it's female, telemedicine allows them to have a work from home flexible schedule, which they love.
The main industry association, the AVMA, has basically made these vets feel that if they do telemedicine, the FBI will show up at their house.
What?
It has scared them to death from doing telemedicine.
To death.
And it's because, again, it's comprised of these self-serving, financially interested individuals who run the organization.
But they have completely scared veterinarians from doing telemedicine whatsoever.
Why would the FBI show up at a vet's house?
What they'll say, and again, I think this is why I want your listeners to know this.
It's just so insane.
They will say that the federal law requires you to have a physical exam no matter what.
Like no matter if it's an opinion, it's a rash, it's a quick question, they'll say that the FDA website requires a physical exam, which it doesn't.
But in every conference, in every newsletter, they'll say, oh, well, we asked the FDA and they said that you need a physical exam.
So if you violate this, you might go to jail.
That's what they'll say at every conference for years now.
And they'll vilify me and Dutch.
And they'll say, this guy is going to hurt your dog.
If there's telemedicine, millions of dogs will die, is the headline.
