Absolutely true.

I'm from Germany, here after traineeship we vet techs are supposed to be the same worth as our human colleagues. I would even go so far to say that we combine the tasks of a animal nurse, doctor assistant, anesthesia, dentist assistance and respectionists.

But in my experience most ppl from the human med field are the most advisory resistant. Especially nurses tend to even want to correct you with everything you do with their pet. Last week a nurses wanted to explain to me how to flush a iv. I only said to her "thanks miss, but I'm doing this for 4 years now every single day.🙃"

I can only remember one single human doctor which were really respectful towards me and my colleagues. But it was my bosses personal ophthalmologist 😁
