Ok, I don’t really have anything interesting to say. But, I do have one almost newsworthy event to report.

It’s a well known fact that doctors have the third largest fragile-egos on this planet (behind unpublished writers and Hollyweird celebrities). Anyway, yesterday I witnessed a doctor ALMOST admit to making a mistake!

A couple weeks ago, I received my first pair of prescription glasses. I looked forward to being able to see again, but I was disappointed the first time I put them on. One side was perfect, but the other side was better suited for deep space observation.

I may be new to the world of corrected vision, but even I knew that someone made a mistake... but, according to the doctor, it had to be me and not the glasses. I’ll explain...

First, I was lectured on diabetes, and how even one high blood sugar could affect my vision for months. Then she remembered that I’ve had neurological issues and I kept waiting for her to suggest that it was all in my head. As if a good shrink could help my right eye accept the traumatic events of childhood. Obviously, I was in denial.

When she was sufficiently satisfied that I accepted the blame for my optical malfunction, she took my glasses and left the room to check the lenses to determine which side she would have replaced (hello, one side was perfect).

After 5 minutes she returned, looking borderline embarrassed.

“The LAB messed up and gave you the wrong prescription on one side.”

I wanted to say “NO DUH LADY!” but I held my tongue. For a minute, I thought the doc was going to apologize, but it never happened.

It’s just as well, because the last thing we need is for Hell to freeze over.
