I just got a note faxed from an ophthalmologist:
"He has normal vision other than his vision is not quite right."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
"He has normal vision other than his vision is not quite right."
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I am really beginning to see that I am smart enough for med school...
wow - can you send it back and ask him to really read what he sent you??? And then to explain it???
I really hate it when people use their professional jargon on me.

And these people went to school for how long?
You are a magnet to the Weird of the World and we are your disciples. Please keep sharing. Although my secret verification word is "preck" so maybe it's rubbing off faster than I thought. Use it in a sentence today :-)
As a retired medical transcriptionist, I can honestly and sadly say I've heard these types of statements thousands of times in my career and it only seems to get worse. In the last ten years or so I have noticed that many of the newer docs cannot properly pronounce medical terms or drug names, cannot put four words together and have it make sense, and they certainly do not know how to spell. I've often wondered how they made it out of high school, let alone medical school.
I just stumbled upon your blog a few days ago and am totally enjoying your venting.
Maybe it was left or left over or sinister or something.
It's not necessarily that vague. I supposedly have 20/20 vision but I still feel like I don't see correctly, like it requires effort or something. One ophthalmologist suggested some eye exercises. I guess it's a focusing problem. No doctor I know seems to know how to better describe what I tell them. Maybe this situation is similar.
