A nearby clinic is referring a patient to be fit

:mad: Chip,

The other side of the coin that makes our Medicaid a disaster:

Patients routinely pull out cash to pay for contacts while getting their "free" glasses.

Having to wait at the...

The last twelve years of my life have been better

Lenny,

I feel your pain!

Seems I could have saved the 28 years I spent building skills as an Optician. I should have
spent a few months learning to be an insurance
clerk instead, since...

Jim,

Have a great time!

Made my first jump in 1966, and whenever possible
since then. Used to be a member of P.O.P.s

The husband enters into this situation at this point! If you suffer severe mental problems post-partum, and...

Christina,

Your first priority should be taking care of yourself! Don't cause a permanent injury by letting some idiot stop you from getting proper medical care and rehabilitation.

Next, I'd...

:cool: Would like a polo. Up to 25.00 o.k.

Hope you're able to work it out.

I think opticians should be able to refract after receiving appropriate training.

Jackie L. was right on target! Lack of organization and co-operation has prevented opticians from progressing in...

:rolleyes: My opinion has reversed as I've grown
older.

A well placed round fired to prevent lives being
taken is one thing, but the awful deed is already done. More killing won't bring back...

Mark,

Are you in a Dr.'s office or retail store?

rfish777, this is not unusual in our profession!

Some docs just don't get it!

If they would hire quality people and share the financial growth with them, they'd be more wealthy in the long term...

I've enjoyed reading the posts on this topic!

A text file in the Download Directory is a great
idea!

WOW!

Things are tough in B.C.!

Fortunately, most customers don't "cross the line".

I've had a few almost make me cross the line, though.

We have been adopted by a black cat named Felix.

He allows us to share his bed, and sometimes sit in his favorite chair.;)

I use the internet for:
Transmitting traces to lab.
Ordering uncut lenses.
Ordering stock lenses and frames.
Filing insurance.
Research
Contacting some of our patients

Some sites I like...

Hi Sam,

It's nice to meet you too.

No, my name isn't Ukranian. I just used my last name initial after my first name for a username.

My last name is Vaughn (Welsh, although my branch of the...

Hi Sam-My name is Mike. I run optical operations for an Optometric
group in Hattiesburg, MS. My day consists of anything and everything that needs to be done. We have a finishing lab only.

Hilco's 26-322 works for me. It needs to be cut off for some eyewires.
