Manic Monday

Actually it really wasn't for once. It's Academy and a lot of the docs were at that. I wish I was, it's in Las Vegas and my cousin is there,lucky girl is married to the doc not working for him like her poor cousin. No interesting patients to write about today and I can't find the draft of an old one. I guess this is what happens when you have more than 300 posts, the old drafts go somewhere, get eaten or something.
So I will tell you about my favorite piece of equipment at work instead. There is only one, as I am tired to death of using most of them and they aggravate my tendonitis- must try and use my left hand more(you would think this would be easy for a lefty). Ok, so it's the doctor's stool- you know those little black stools the doc sits on at eye exams. Well I sit on one at the desk, while I take the history and find out why the patient is there, after I've taken their vision and refracted them (which I can do sitting but more often I stand), I roll back on my stool and grab the slit lamp table and pull it over to the patient. Yes that is it folks, sad but true, the most exciting part of my job - my dear ole doctor's stool.

Footnote: reason I couldn't find that old draft was because it was an old post.

Not to be despised, these humble pieces of furniture. :-)

ted's dr. is there, too. for some reason, it's one place I've never wanted to go--though I know lots of people love it.

pf: I know not one of my dream spots(shoulda gone the year it was in New Orleans - we woulda had fun!!) but right now I'd go anywhere, even Hoboken, NJ. but preferable a caribbean island.

There is nothing like having the right tool for the job.

If I remember it correctly, I used to sit on a slightly similar chair when I visit my eye MD. :)
