Great! I love those OCTs. I have a colorful copy of it. The 2 eyes
look different, but I don't know the meaning of the difference. The
doc looked at my photogenic images and said -- "yes, there is some
swelling," and sent me back to see the cataract doc, who is also a
general ophthalmologist.

This is very weird. Your retinal specialist found some swelling in the
retina but sent you back to the gen ophthal. It is your retinal
specialist
that should handle the swelling, not the gen ophthal.

My attempts to get more information from
him, or to convince him that since the swelling is in the retina it
should be in his department, were in vain. He was simply very stingy.

It seems that he doesn't like to be your doctor.

Santa Klown,

It appears that you are becoming a serious candidate for the infamous
list of eternal trolls and/or idiots on s.m.v. Is this what you
want? Your infrequent posting will not save you from this destiny,
unless you keep your mouth shut from now on.


I'm not a troll. I post only when I do have something to say.

Sometimes, you have to look at yourself from a 3rd person's viewpoint.

I don't post in this NG frequently but I am familiar with the **tone** of
your typical messages.

Now, ask yourself.....if you were a retinal specialist, would you like to
have a patient like you?

I would NOT want to have a patient like you, for sure.

The relationship between the patient and the doctor is mutual. I DO respect
my doctors and behave accordingly and my doctors respect me. I have never
had any kind of negative experiences with my docs including my retinal
specialist. You know, it's give & take.

There must be a reason why your retinal specialist behaved as you described.
He's human and he has emotions.

Next time you see him, try to be a good patient and he'll be a good doctor.

I know you won't follow my advice. But I wish you the best luck.
