This is either sad or funny. I just came back from my ophthalmology appointment for a series of tests. At one point they were doing a regular check on my long range vision. She covered one eye and the 5 images were really unclear. She said ‘tell me what you see.” I said “4, 7, 9, 0,3 but really I can’t see them well at all”. She said well I’ll change this now and maybe it will be better.” I said “Did I fail that last one? And she said “well they weren’t numbers, they were letters!” 2 minutes later I was still laughing and so was she!
Ps to the ophthalmology test faux pas today, I told Mike at dinner and he didn’t laugh! He said the test has always been letters! Any who he’s no fun. I added well the tech laughed a lot and so did I. I ‘m still laughing. She and I really bonded after that. I asked her if she was a student and she said yes. Not ophthalmology like she intended. Working there has given her insight that it wasn’t for her. She’s working on a masters now in Epidemiology, studies disease patterns and determinants in populations, focusing on how diseases spread, their causes, and how to prevent them. I said that’s so relevant esp now.
