I removed a foreign body today and the patient was so thrilled to experience instant relief. I’ll be going by “Hero” for the rest of the week.

To my patients coming in from working with farm animals: Please consider changing out of your shit-covered work boots before your appointment. If you insist on wearing these boots, do NOT brush them up against my pants and shoes during SLE
Optometry boards committee: so I think for their sanity we should break their board exams up into three parts
Me: yes sounds great less stress
Them: also let’s charge them $800 per exam
Me: you know im literally living off of student loans, right?
So... what am I supposed to do with all this free time now that boards are over? I don’t remember the last time I didn’t have homework or studying to do.
Oh, wait.... now I have to find a job...
*Glc pt returning for first time since 2015*
-Me: We haven’t seen you since 2015, have you been getting your drops elsewhere?
-Pt: I’m not using any drops, they didn’t feel good.
-Me: When was the last time you used your drops?
Pt: 2015

#HopeYouDidntNeedYourSideVision
Patient entering for routine exam with no visual complaints:
*Me: Cover your left eye and tell me the lowest line you can read
*Pt: *20/40*
*Me: Cover your right eye and read the lowest line you can
Pt: Well that’s funny, I can’t see anything...
#CRAO#CRAP
Patient getting his first eye exam in 20 years:
*Me: Are you having any problems with your vision?
*Pt: Nope, I see just fine
*Me: Any double vision?
*Pt: Well yeah, but you have two eyes so you’re supposed to see double when you get older
*Me: 🤦🏻♀️
