Dislikes
Why are we adding a $200 fee for doing PEMF on animals? Also, requiring the vet to have the animal as an established patient within the last 12 months is ridiculous. We have a large herd. Not every animal has been seen in the last 12 months, so, with this bill, would my vet not be able to help us in an emergency telemedicine case because he hadn't seen that particular animal in the last year??? Then she dies because he couldn't make it there in time? Who requested this bill? I'm guessing it wasn't a practicing in the field rural veterinarian.
