The Confederate Flag

[Dannyalcatraz]

By law, if she herself dispenses drugs in a state (as opposed to the clinic she is working for dispensing them) she has to keep a *separate* inventory for that state - separate bottles, separate drug safes to lock them up, separate logs for audit.

Just out of curiosity, what happens if horse from State A needs ketamine (or some such) and all she has left in her inventory is ketamine for State B critters?

Does horse get State B ketamine- with your wife dealing with consequences later- or is Flicka out of luck?

I'm not Umbran (of course), but I would make the obvious guess: Flicka is out of luck.

Few horses are worth the cancellation of a veterinarian's license; and the million-dollar racehorses that are worth so many $$$$ still wouldn't know the difference between license-present and license-gone.

Well, either that or the vet refers the horse's owner to another clinic. Possibly. I don't really know how it works, but that makes the most sense (animal gets medicated, laws are obeyed).

"Dealing with the consequences," can mean, "Federal charges and losing license and livelihood," so she does *not* screw around with it.

She has avoided the situation by not doing house-calls in out of our home state. When working elsewhere, she's always working through a clinic, and technically they dispense the drugs she prescribes. But, if a situation arose, for many medications she can simply wrote a prescription and have a pharmacy dispense the drugs, or find a local veterinarian to dispense them.

That's what I suspected.

Well, I thought horses were just a generic thing off the top of his head. In reality, even a starter horse is apt to run $1500 to $3000 dollars. Their owners are usually pretty particular about where they are getting their medical care, and are going to have a relationship with a local veterinarian for their animals. It would be a pretty weird situation oft my wife to be involved.

I'm note sure how it happened, but I must admit it's entertaining to come into this thread and read about drug addict horses. Some how it seems appropriate for a thread about the confederate flag.

Not at all. Ketamine has a reputation as an abuse drug, but it is on the World Health Organization's list of Essential Medicines (meds that should be available in any health system), and it is frequently used in veterinary medicine for balanced anesthesia and analgesia.

Then you really need to expand your experiences....

Or you are referring to an extremely small minority of people who are at best used as cover for people who want to change things or not change things that have a direct impact on the world.

Yes, there are a few people who actually believe in States Rights and it isn't a pretext for anything else. There are also a few people who believe in a flat earth. The overwhelming majority of people who cry "States Rights" in my experience are people who are trying to claim that the Confederacy was in no way about slavery no matter what the Confederates at the time might have said or done. The next largest group of people talking about States Rights are people (on every side) venue shopping. Trying to get a change they believe in to happen (or one they oppose to not happen) for as many people as possible. What they are fighting for isn't States Rights. It's whatever their actual cause is.

And yes there are people who actually care about States Rights as an abstract concept. But this is far the smallest of the groups. It's useful that they are there - but I've yet to even hear of a States Rights organisation that is anything like as devoted to the cause as the ACLU are (remember the ACLU will defend the rights of Nazis).

And when it comes to States Rights, there are times when sending the 101st Airborne in is absolutely the right thing to do. Also from what I can tell, state legislatures are far far more corrupt than the national one (which is a pretty impressive bar to cross).
