Dilate Me

I went to the opthalmogist last month for a basic eye exam. I don't where glasses, however, I'm infront of a pc no less then 12 hours a day, and everything gets blurry, and I thought I'd get it checked out.

Well my vision turns out to be fine, but the eye guy want me to see the retina guy. He thinks I have a tear in my retina - I think he's full of shit, but I make the apt. just to be on the safe side.

Yesterday, I take time off work and go back to see the retina specialist. I hate going to the dr's in the first place and I really really hate waiting to see the dr. when I have an apointment. What's the deal? anyway, my apt. was for 2:50. It was 3:20 when the eye nurse chick calls me to dilate just the one eye - Then I get to wait till 4:50 before I finally see the Dr. I was freakin fuming.

The Dr. finally comes to see me, looks at my eyeball for all of a minute, and tells me there's no problem. He then begins to chastise me for taking up his time. Screw him. I'm gonna call the AMA and my insurance company.

I don't think he was happy with me. While I was waiting in the litle room, my cell rang. I answered it, which I normally wouldn't do in a dr's office, but I was pissed and bored. The door to my "little room" was open, and, while I talked on the phone, I complained loudly. I finally leave, and was determined not to pay my co-pay. I proceed to the cashier, who was such a nice lady, I didn't have the heart to give her a hard time. I asked her if they were busy today, or if it normally takes over 2hrs to see the dr. She told 2 hrs was an average wait. Yeah, it'll be a cold day in freakin' hell before I go back there. Opticare freakin sucks.

I finally get outta there after 5:00, and head to the gym. Wow, that was freaky. It was a pain driving, I had to kinda close my dilated eye, then I was all sorts of dizzy. It was like working out stones - not that I would know what that feels like. Yeah, um, no of course not.
