I honestly do not care what people do. All I want people to know is that cystos are sometimes the best choice for the test being done. And a mid stream sample is not necessarily a bad thing. It is just not a sterile technique.
There may be vets that don't like cystos, but many do and the labs that run these samples recommend them (and again, not all vets make money off of them, so it isn't a money thing).
I understand some are uncomfortable, but that shouldn't translate into making people feel like they are never necessary. |
People should not be pressured into doing them either if the outcome is no different and as of yet I have not seen anything to make me believe otherwise. People should know they have a choice in what they are comfortable with.
We all do not have to agree and that is fine but I feel strongly about my opinion and will voice it just as you feel strongly about yours so people can hear both sides of the equation and not feel pressured to either side. Each owner should hear both sides and make an educated decision for their pet.
We can all agree to disagree at this point as you are not changing my mind and I am not changing yours. These are long time specialists I deal with not someone that just came out of vet school being told to do something in school a certain way.
