That's amazing.
What about all the shots?
Definitely there's vaccines, but even vaccines, like you should, I mean, as we have at Dutch, try to kind of, so telemedicine can do vaccines, but there's definitely lower cost clinics that will do vaccines for $50, whereas in person it'll cost you $150 to $200 for the same thing.
For a shot?
Yes.
Why would it cost $200 for a shot?
Well, they'll say, well, I have to pay for rent and I have to pay for staff.
I mean, they'll say there's like all this upkeep that the shot includes, but it's baloney.
That goes back to private equity raising prices and knowing that there's some people who will still pay for it.
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.
