Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever Been Booted From An Optometrist's Office?

Lots of fiction being typed here.

“Records” are kept digitally now, not sure how anyone walked out with their records.

First clue was "DR." Patel!
Graduated from the University of Rangoon. (Go Brahma's!)
Worked with these arrogant a$$wipes!
NONE of them "work"! They are all "supervisors" and delegate their duties and responsibilities to their underlings!

Remember the big fiasco in Bhopal, India where the cyanide leak killed hundreds (if not thousands!) around a Union Carbide chemical plant?
I can guarantee that some supervisor told some underling to close a valve when the storage tank filled. That underling passed the responsibity to some other underling and on and on and on until the tank overflowed, killing butt loads of people.

"Sabu" (not his real name) came from Kerala. A state in India.
Cane down with the creeping crud and went to a doctor. Being Indian, went to an Indian doctor.
Sabu: "I'm running fever, have a cough, lethargic, nose is stopped up. I think I have the flu."
Indian Doctor: "I'm the doctor. You don't tell me what you have. I tell you."
Sabu also had his parents arrange his marriage with a girl from India. They had 3 daughters before they gave up on a boy. Every year, he would load them on a plane and send them to spend their summer with grandparents in India.
Fully Americanized, when the oldest turned 13, they refused to go to India for the summer! LOL!
No malls to hang out in.
No cell phones!
No friends!
Riding an elephant, bathing in the Ganges and living in a hut with no running water, A/C or electricity is only "fun" so long!

When others explained what was going on, he was incredulous!
"But they hurt my feelings because they don't want to go!"
"You raised those girls in the lap of luxury nine months of the year, then send them to a third world s#¡t hole for three months!"

My apologies!
I get on my soap box when I hear about how "great" these Indian fuggers are!
They hate us and think all Americans are stupid!

I'll drive across Texas before I go to an Indian doctor!
Call it "racist" if you wish. I call it being "informed"!
Those third world mf'ers will kill you!

losttrail60, do you want me to post a picture of the record file sitting on my desk or do you want to continue proving your mental limits by statements like above?

I think part of the problem is that every paraprofessional wishes to encroach into the space of the professional-proper in their general field. Nurses want to be doctors, so they push for nurse practitioner status, where they can function like them, for example. Same thing seems to have happened to optometrists.

Unsatisfied with merely being the folks who determine your eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions, they sought to encroach into the proper domain of the ophthalmologist, i.e., the medical doctors who concern themselves with eye health and treatment.

At first, this new aspect of their profession was introduced merely as an adjunct to the profession of determining eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions, but gradually grew till they started to feel they were in competition with the ophthalmic profession in terms of eye health. And now we can no longer just go to one to determine our eyeglass prescriptions without having to go through all this full eye exam nonsense, and if you tell them you already have an association with an ophthalmologist, and only wish to have your eyeglass prescription determined, they get all butt hurt.

Not necessarily.
Obama care dumped ca$h on doctors to digitize.
Not all did.






Was at my eye doctor for a checkup. High pressure, see if new drops helped.


Mentioned his Mastriano/Oz signs, said I wished he had
some Fetterman/Shapiro signs.😉😉

Blaine and I know each other, daughters played tennis together for years.
But we never got to know each other real well.

He paused, stuttered, tried to be nice, "well, you won't see them here."

Grinning I told him he didn't have to be so nice, we were on the same
side and I was just agitating. No masks, they went away as soon as
legally possible. Sooner in the exam room.



Dr is great, eyeglass folks in his office suck.
They give me a script and I get my glasses through work.
Daughter goes to an eyeglass place.

I didn't think that optometrist's were even allowed to dilate your eyes; thought that could only be done with an ophthalmologist.

Just change your schedule with your ophthalmologist & dispense with the idiots.

MM

First time in my life an optometrist has wished to dilate my eyes for an exam, let alone insisted. Hopefully it's not the latest trend.

We got killer banana Icee at our Seven-11

At Vanderbilt the opts do it EVERY time, they want to allow all available pupil width across the axis to check the vision

I’d think anyone NOT doing that is being half-ass, at least in my opinion of dealing with my daughter’s vision. We got to the eye clinic about every 6 weeks

But it is Vanderbilt afterall, not some Lenscrafters in Pissville, Idaho

Their explanation for it was that she insists on doing a full eye health exam, where viewing the back of the eye is important, i.e., having nothing at all to do with accurately determining my prescription.

Dr. Patel. Let me guess, you asked her if you had talked to her the night before on "Hot Indian Women?"

I’m pretty sure that’s beyond the scope of practice for optometrists here. Some have had their license suspended for it. They’re not opthalmologists.

Young male version of POS. LOL

Recreational colonoscopy.

Our clinic kept digital and had that on paper, dumbass.

TRH, I guess yall didn't see eye to eye.

Lense Crafter in the strip mall next to the Dollar Store in 1985?

LOL

As it should be.

Eyes Of Texas Clinic and Surgery Center, Odessa and Midland, Texas.

I will add that our optoms have about 3 extra letters behind their names. Sometimes commas and 3-6 more letters. Fellows, certs, etc



lol

My urologist at Mayo in Jacksonville is a PhD and an MBA too and an MD obviously.
