Friday afternoon

OM: "Hi, I'm optomom, I will be finalizing your contact lens prescription today. (notices she is wearing glasses) "Did you bring the contacts with you so that I can double check them on your eyes?"

Ms. Ditz: "Ohh! I didnt know I was sposed to wear em today. They're at home. Somewhere..."

One week later, after providing NEW diagnostic lenses

OM: "So, everything looks good with the contacts. Do you have any questions?"

Ms. Ditz. "Can I like, wear these on a roller coaster?"

OM: "If you want to see."

Let's try something new...

I am going to give this blog thing a try. Every day I am reading Dr. Grumpy, Guitar Girl RN, WhiteCoat's Call Room, and many others. My favorite posts are about every day interaction with patients, especially the crazy ones! I find myself thinking, "Hey, I talk to crazy people every day."
And, "I haven't seen any stories from Optometrists or Opticians..."

So here I am.

I am a mom of a two year old, who says plenty of crazy stuff his self, and I have another one on the way.
I work in a large clinic's optometry department, either in the dispensary or fitting contact lenses.

And away we go...
