Wow, you all like hockey too? SWEET!

I think it would be lovely if the Stanley Cup were to go to a Canadian team this year ...:rolleyes:

BUMP!!! Well, they're still here ... anyone? Anyone?

'Fundamental' by the Pet Shop Boys. And what a lovely purchase it was, too.

I've got four of these sitting around my office ... would anyone like them? They're a few years old, but still brand new and never used. Asking price is $10 per unit, plus shipping.

Please...

I bought mine. It saves me money in the long run.

If there's a contact lens out there that 1800 can't get for a customer, they'll oftentimes 'substitute' the rx with something similar that they CAN get, just so they can keep their $$.

I've...

CHM, I just want to say: Amen, sister!!

The 'war on terror' is a lost cause and will never be won anywhere. It's like the 'war on drugs' -- a constant, ongoing, win-some-lose-some type of...

Yes, that really irks me too!! Like when they add an extra 'a' to the word 'dilate' and say (or write) 'di-a-late'. Or 'catarax' ... 'stigmatism' ... 'lazer'... 'LASIX surgery'. Whenever I see...

Sex sells, and that's all there is to it. It doesn't matter to the marketing department what the product is, be it eyeglass frames or hemorrhoid cream.

Charlize Theron and Ashley Judd ... not only because they're beautiful, but they can also act.

Optigrrl, I know exactly the kind of couple you mean. I've often wondered to myself, 'How the heck did these two EVER end up married to each other in the first place??'

And, it goes both ways...

We pretty much always hold onto the CL vials as well. If the patient insists on taking it, we make it a point to inform them that should the CL need to be returned for any reason, it must be sent...

Easy listening radio station, or sometimes NPR.

Yes, the form can be downloaded and then printed off the 'net. But is it my responsibility or the patient's responsibility to do this??

The way I see it, this patient was just spoiled by exceptional treatment from her former OD. Of course, she only wants to see me now because I'll accept her insurance, but her expectations are up on...

The new forms here in FL are the same, where the person who dispenses the new RX has to note when and where it was dispensed. I think it's a good thing.

Thanks for the replies, Harry! It's sad to hear about some of those 'stubborn types' you mentioned, though.

Anyway, drivers here only get a vision analysis form and referral for eye...

Thanks! I'm not really worried about whether OD's providing government-issued forms to patients is right vs. wrong. I've just never known any OD's who actually did this, so it was a new concept for...

I guess I just feel that it's not my responsibility as the OD. Must I also provide the other forms I fill out for my patients, such as those required for patients to attend school, play organized...

Are there any OD's out there that provide (and then complete) the DMV vision forms to your patients so that they can receive/renew their driver's licenses?

I'm just wondering because today I had...

I attended the Vision Expo East last year, and was pleased with staying at the Holiday Inn Midtown in Manhattan. I think the deal I got was $120 per night (booked online via the Holiday Inn...

Wow -- thanks for all of your replies, everyone! :)

It's good to hear viewpoints from varying perspectives here.

But with regards to whether or not I prescribe .25 cyl in my Rx's, I'm not...

I'm a new user to this board, so I'm not sure whether this topic has been discussed before, but ...

Just out of curiosity, how do you all feel about Rx's with +/- .25 cylinder in them?

As...

Oaklynn,

It sounds like you have some valuable experience already since you are already trained to perform pre-testing procedures on patients and handle medical records, as well as cross-trained...

Well, I certainly wouldn't want anyone to 'jeopardize' anything on my account -- all I'm trying to do is help out a non-optical friend with a simple request, and I've exhausted all of my local...
