Aug. 26th, 2024 05:32 pmPeople joke about dentists being sadists, but holy hell optometrists are the worst. They are just fine with patients leaving their offices so fucked up from their exam that they can barely walk.
"Wow, you haven't had an exam since 2019?" JFC I wonder why.
Also, the guy would not stop talking. I could barely get a word in edge-wise to give him very highly relevant medical information, because he just wanted to go on and on about what the old wive's tales remedies are for eye problems. I don't care. I have a medical condition that directly impacts why some of my tests were the way there were and some I think that's more important than knowing how many of his patients still use old wives tale's remedies. He just kept fucking talking.
This is also the second time I've had to be all 'No, seriously, I said stop' in regards to an optometrist flashing lights in my eyes. I am not okay right now. I am still having trouble walking. (And I should not be trying to use a computer screen right now.) I had to get myself home like this.
Also, for some of the things I need to do, I just wanted a brand name... a single brand name. If they don't sell treatment products anymore, I just need a single brand name. So many of the medical things on the market these days are scams or dodgy crap. Asking for a specific product or brand name was too much to ask, but I know that some of his patients use eggs in their home remedies and some use potatoes.
New glasses are way overdue for me, but I put this off for too long for a reason. Now I am going to stop distracting myself with social media and try to make myself lay down in the dark with an audiobook, which is what I should be doing.
