Well, again, what they'll say is, we are thinking of the pets.

We think millions of dogs will die with telemedicine.

How will that happen?

Well, let me tell you.

Some of these examples I've seen, they'll say... Like, I'll say... The example I used, anxiety.

Like, I'll say, isn't that great for telemedicine?

The dog is in the comfort of their home, and you can shoot... They'll say...

Well, what if the dog ate a nail?

You know, if the dog ate a nail, I've been in hearings where this example has happened.

Well, if the dog ate a nail, look, maybe he's barking because he ate a nail and he's in pain because he ate a nail.

And so that's why we shouldn't have to, it's like, are there nails on your house?

Like, why are we going to use this crazy made up example to deny anything?

millions of dogs from having this opportunity to use telemedicine sure and if your dog ate a nail there's still no good reason why you shouldn't start with telemedicine exactly yeah have that initial call yeah the vet will walk you through it and then you'll know do i go to er or not exactly it's not it doesn't have to be in either or right we had a family dog who ate a pin recently oh

that it still would have been worth calling initially like why not totally why not it takes before dutch um there's a uh a poison hotline that's like 75 just for that first call yes and you don't even know who who you're gonna get and that's what people do because again if that's what you need to do that's what you'll do

But there's definitely ways to talk to a human being veterinarian very quickly, even that for much less.

And definitely much less than having to spend $1,000 in ER.

I had a case where my dog, I thought he was having a seizure.

And I really, I mean, I really freaked out.

And I got on Dutch.

And the vet says he's doing reverse sneezing.
