Early Days of Lean in Veterinary Medicine?

Last Friday morning, I partnered with Chip Ponsford, DVM, a doctor of veterinary medicine, to give an introductory Lean continuing education presentation at the annual conference of the Texas Veterinary Medical Association.Our talk was titled: "What Veterinarians Can (and Should) �Learn From Toyota." That was Chip's suggested title... him talking to the vets, not me as the engineer telling them this.
