Too bad she's not looking for an OD, or I'd be all over it... especially as I skydive in Collegeville every weekend in the summer (Fezz... didn't realize you lived near there, you ought to meet me at...
Personally, I don't think the health care reform will make much of a difference, whether passed or not. The biggest issue I see is that people don't take care of themselves. Health care is so...
Contact lenses would be great, if that's an option for this person. The other option, I wouldn't do a bifocal at all, just take advantage of the vertex distance.... moving the glasses away from the...
Yes, I did get some fill in coverage. And my husband found a job. He started Monday. It's a 65% pay cut and no benefits, but at least it's something.
I can't say these numbers surprise me much. In my private practice, the bulk of the patients I'm seeing are either using their benefits before they are gone due to lay-offs, or they have a spouse...
Shameless bump....
If in the chair VA is ok, I'd bet on crappy lighting being the culprit. I do a lot of low vision home visits, and it's incredible what poor lighting a lot of people have in their homes. No wonder...
Our patients get a DRI form to read and sign as part of the pre-exam paperwork. It spells out why it's recommended, that some photos are medically needed and will be billed to medical insurance, and...
I'm in total disagreement with you.... a copy of the script handed to the patient or easily accessable by a phone call from the optician is a GOOD thing... it's what's in the best interests of our...
We've had one almost a year now and love it. I have a form that patients sign, I can probably scan and email to you if you want to give me your email address. Probably 75% opt for the screening...
Unfortunately in PA, the 'optician' could be someone pulled off the Walmart register 10 minutes previously, and I do WM fill in work (here now, actually). Unless there's a scheduled appointment, we...
Here's how I think of it.... a patient doesn't go to a retail store, say to buy shoes for their kid, and ask the clerk for an excuse for school. Maybe something along the lines of 'we can only offer...
The only time I don't issue an Rx at a visit is if the patient is there for a med visit only, say glaucoma iop check, red eye, etc. If I have a refraction code (92015), there has to actually be a...
Personally, if it's not for an eye exam, I won't write a note at all.... kids can pick out glasses, get adjustments, etc after school hours, there's no reason to pull them out for something...
What a well-reasoned and mature response. :p I'm sure your future employers would be intregued to read this thread.
Wow, someone trying to pawn of their homework on other people.... isn't that the point of being in school?
If you had written up YOUR approach to working with the patient and asked for feedback...
I'd love to, but finances won't allow at the moment... my husband lost his job Monday. If you guys know of anyone looking for a fill in doc Fri, Sat, or Sun, I have lots available. I'm trying to...
My husband lost his job on Monday and we're in the middle of adopting a teenage boy out of the foster care system, so things were a bit tight even before his job loss. So, now I am looking for some...
Ditto here, a PA OD strongly in favor of the bill.
What were his phorias? Vergences? NRA/PRA? This sounds like a great case for someone who specializes in binocular vision... find a COVD OD somewhere in your area (if you go to www.covd.org I...
Oh another good one... diabetic patient had a toe removed the previous day. As I was refracting him, his daughter thought that might be the PERFECT time to change the dressing on the foot, so there...
I don't need an award, having craploads of cool stories like this makes being an adventure magnet fun :) If I didn't have a sense of humor, it might be a problem. Well, there was no humor in the...
Well, a week ago, I called the cops and filed a child abuse complaint against a woman... she threw her 3yo grandson against a wall, kept twisting the arms of and lifting the 2 younger grandkids that...
Now you know why we don't take Davis. It's an extremely poor representation of me when patients walk out with poor quality optical goods... I require better service and quality than Davis can...
