Waste of Time.

I went to the Retinal specialist this past Tuesday. I got there a bit early, and waited for hours. They checked the pressure in my eye and dilated them as usual. However, it seems that this hospital has the tendency to give a patient dilation drops and leave them waiting for over an hour. It usually takes only a half hour for the eyes to dilate. I was finally seen by the doctor to have a five minute visit with him in which he told me absolutely nothing new. He looked into my eyes the same way the General Clinic did and told me that he saw no tears in the Retina. Duh. He could have known that from looking at my fraking chart!! In the end he scheduled me for a multi-focus ERG and a OCT which checks for swelling in the eye.

I feel as if I wasted the day to be told what I already know, and to schedule tests that could have been scheduled for that very day.

That is modern medicine for you.
