 When and Why Did You Become a VINner?
In 1994-1996 we met a cloned sheep named Dolly, Beanie Babies were popping up everywhere, and Christmas shoppers were brawling over Tickle Me Elmo dolls.
Although some people still thought the internet was just a passing fancy, the 2000 members of VIN were clearly not among them.
VSPN 2.0, the VIN Offline newsletter, and the VIN forms library were introduced, and VIN was recognized for its advancement of electronic online communications in the veterinary profession.
When and why did you become a VINner? Find the discussion for your year in the list on the right side of this page and share what VIN means to you. You can show as well as tell! Share a photo, video, or even a song clip.
Can't remember when you joined? Email 30years@vin.com and we'll help you figure it out.
Whatever year you joined, share your thoughts about VIN -- Your VIN Journey -- on this special Message Board and through the VIN 30th Anniversary Center. |

How do you feel the public regards veterinarians as compared to physicians?
What's your take on the "other doctors"? You know, the ones who only treat one species, and bipedal mammals at that? This week's Front Page Quick Poll takes a peek at VINner perceptions of public perception of veterinarians vs. physicians.
Once you've taken the current poll on the Front Page, wander back in time to the Quick Poll Archives where you can take and view the full results of all prior polls -- you can even see if a previous poll has addressed that burning question in your head. Last week, for instance, the Quick Poll asked about overnight hospitalization, and VINners weren't cagey with their answers.
While 35% don't hospitalize overnight, the 55% who do hospitalize patients overnight have varying approaches ranging from some supervision or choosing on a case-by-case basis to 24% who hospitalize patients overnight, unattended, and with all meds running. How do you handle the "It's almost closing time, and what do I do with this patient" quandary? |
