HA! For a minute I thought you were describing MY doctor. I think that is the reason that none of us ask him many questions! He is like that in the exam room with patients and I suppose that is a good thing, but unfortunately they can't begin to grasp everything he is saying (brief is often better ) and then sometimes he just confuses them. It sounds like you were wearing many hats in your office with quite a lot of responsibility!

My doctor used to do his lasers at the eye center in the hospital but he now does them in our office. I have not heard the patients mention having pain from the procedure but maybe by the time they get to me it has subsided?

A large part of our patients are elderly as he also specializes in cataract surgery. I love working with elderly patients as they are so sweet and slow to complain about things. They often send us post cards when they go on vacation and bake us goodies at Christmas. One of our very favorite patients passed away and all of us girls went to his funeral. He and his wife were such special people and we wanted to be there for her and just to let her know how much we would miss him too. I know I am getting away from the theme of this thread but it was enjoyable to share some of my experiences with you. I know you have probably had similar experiences. It's been nice chatting with you.
