Jessica Trimble, DVM: I think it's a little irresponsible as a business owner not to think about that, right? So, you know, I'll get super personal myself, I can't work clinically anymore, because I have a chronic disease that causes my joints to just fall apart with repetitive motion. So spaying things and you know, tying suitors over and over, I can't do that anymore. But I can do telehealth. So there's so many people like me out there whose brains still work great. I just can't literally be standing in a clinic for hours on end day after day. And you know, when I first started hiring folks for telehealth, those are the folks that were popping up. It was technicians whose back went out lifting a Great Dane, but they use their brain and support these clinics.
