Ohio State has one of the best Optometry schools in the country, so I'm sure you're bound to have plenty of really good doctors in your area!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8152824491390345038.post-53971152704118642872012-10-24T06:40:56.210-07:002012-10-24T06:40:56.210-07:00Jennifer - that's by far the funniest (and pro...Jennifer - that's by far the funniest (and probably longest) comment I've ever read on my blog. Hands down.<br /><br />I guess you are a mind reader. I like Chloe's doctor and hate to think badly of him but there just may be some truth to what you said. I was suppressing exactly those thoughts and I guess I needed you to pull them out for me. I called the doctor in Michigan this morning and am waiting for a call back. We'll see what happens next. Thanks :-)Cyndi Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046836862510191147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8152824491390345038.post-3129453515024148882012-10-23T14:41:47.530-07:002012-10-23T14:41:47.530-07:00I shall interpret for you all the things that were...I shall interpret for you all the things that were thought, but not said outloud:<br /><br />Doc: (I've been seeing kids with this eye stuff for so long, I don't even need these new-fangled instruments to tell me what I can tell with my ultra-healing-thumbs. Plus, this kid is going to scream bloody murder and I might lose some of the customers waiting for new glasses...)<br /><br />You: (Hey - I've been ramming liquid firedrops into my baby's eyeballs for a month now. If you think just pushing on my kid's eyeball with your (dirty?) thumb is going to do it - better think again old man. Get that pressure pen out - and do the test RIGHT. I need NUMBERS.)<br /><br />Doc: (Oh fine - I'll use the new technology - but I'm telling you - I've done these before and the kid is going to scream. Yep, she's screaming, I'm a fortune reader AND an eye doctor. I should charge more.)<br /><br />You: (Damn - my kid is screaming. But, no matter, I have my test results and YES numbers are down. Thus validating the past month of tortues. Chloe, I pray that someday you will thank me for this!!)<br /><br />Doc: (See, now are we good, I have proven that I am always correct. What? You want a second set of eyes on her? hey, this lady is sort of funny, I like that. I think I'll use that pun and pretend I thought of it to impress my collegues.)<br /><br />You: (that's right buddy. I'm a mom whose been doing medical stuff non-stop for the past 3 years. You think I'm going to let this go with just 'we're moving in the right direction'? I think not.)<br /><br />Doc: (really? you can't just trust me? I just proved that my thumbs are amazing and that I know in advance exactly how your baby will react to that new-fangled pressure pen thingy. Okay...I am getting the sense that you will not leave here with your free sticker and lollypop. Well...let me see...)<br /><br />You: (look - I've even done research - here are 2 names I came up with. What about them apples?)<br /><br />Doc: (Let's meet in the middle. Trust me - I'm doing a good job. But, if you must double check...I suppose I understand. Though I do think I am amazing and never need a double check. I will give you the name of a collegue who owes me from our last poker night at the country club. But then, when he agrees with me, you owe me a Christmas card or something.)<br /><br /><br /><br />I am an amature mind-reader. I'm not sure why I projected a snotty country-club going eye doctor - I bet he's really nice. But I have an artistic license and that made it funnier. For real though - continue listening to your gut - you are Chloe's best advocate and besides - I don't see anyone else volunteering to put liquid satan drops into her eyes - so if you want another opinion - do it!!The Hillbergshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949935468747766943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8152824491390345038.post-13181048965140407712012-10-23T13:19:23.774-07:002012-10-23T13:19:23.774-07:00Well, considering the fact that you had to push fo...Well, considering the fact that you had to push for the pressure reading, you seem like your desire to "do more" is valid.<br /> <br />It never hurts to get a second opinion. You'll either leave feeling more confident of your current Dr, or proud of yourself for finding someone else you're even more comforatble with. <br /><br />Just keep us posted!

Anyway, all I can say is if you have a nagging feeling that you want to hear another opinion, go for it. Even if it's a one-time consultation and then you go back to your guy, newly empowered. xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
