TY Lacy for responding. YES YES YES to medication! I want to post the complete list. I think everyone with vision problems should read this before taking any medication and assess the NEED for the medication and risk and consequence of taking it
I always thought the “ double vision was left to write. Never ever considered that it could be double up and down and consider this it can be both at the same time! I needed at times to wear a patch or I tripped over a door saddle or smash my shoulder into a door jam since I couldn't judge the opening with two eye open.
The phone doctor told me to study and understand certain words that will help my communicate with the new doctors two words are “ FIELD” and “ a·cu·i·ty “
I hate trying to navigate with my vision as it is.
I've said this several times already but it's worth saying again. ( your hammer analogy is one of my favorites! ) BEWARE ABD BE AEARE of this doctors who have only three tools in the tool box! Don't allow them if possible to read what another doctor has written in your records. We are all so screwed by electronic records especial since most doctors think that electronic records see “ The Cats Meow “ ( sorry you yungens that I'm using a saying that is older than me.
But when I think about my doctor visits I notice that basic doctor visits look ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE THE NORMAN ROCKWELL FRONT COVER OF THE SATURDAY EVENING POST: no stethoscope around the neck no little red rubber hammer in breast pocket. No flash light with pointed tip to look into offices, no physical examination only its of questions. As for a copy of your records and see if you wonder if doctors have body cameras as pages about you visit are in your records by the next day at the latest. How does that happen? No more jokes about “ Okay take you clothes off because I don't remember the last time my clothes can of except for a pain shot in my butt and the nurse came in to give me that.
I imagined the next evolution of a doctor visit: you walk in with a handful of sealed envelopes the doctor now wears a black cape and and has a red jeweled swamp turban you hand him one envelope at a time which he places up to the turbin he makes a Karnac like statement then tests the envelope open and reads the questions to the answers he just give. You insurance company or medicare has three charges which is his last envelope before he says Allah-his- mala-dick which means may God remain with you and don't let the don't hit you in the ass as you depart. ZFunk and Wagnal gets a “ stypen “ for keeping the envelopes in a Mayonaise jar for 7 years are you leave or until you get The Itch!
For you Yunguns this is a repeat of an old Johnny Carson routine but the back to the future state of health Care
