b'One of the most controversial topics in the veterinary profession during the past few years has been the Veterinary Nurse Initiative (VNI). What should veterinary technicians be called? What should their credentials be? And what responsibilities should they have? This week we\\u2019re pleased to sit down with one the VNI\\u2019s most vocal, and articulate, critics, Liz Hughston, RVT, VTS (SAIM, ECC). Liz has been a guest before, and this time she shares her disagreements with Mark Cushing, JD, the lead attorney for the VNI. Liz is an outstanding guest, and listen to find out why Dr. Ward said \\u201cevery neural connection on this topic was blown\\u201d after listening to Liz\\u2019s cogent arguments. \\n\\nThis is an AMAZING episode. PLEASE forgive us for Dr. Ward\\u2019s audio\\u2026 he was traveling and wound up stuck in a very echo corner of a random office for this recording! Thank you again, LIZ!\\n\\nIf you don\\u2019t mind, please leave us a review on iTunes. That\\u2019s all we ask of you in exchange for producing this podcast each week. Your review means the world to us and helps us reach more veterinary professionals.'
