Unfortunately, in this world, if you want decent healthcare, you have to very proactive and read all the HMO literature twice. No one is going to show up to you desk and take your blood pressure or clean your teeth. And as for getting quality care, shopping around is a second full time job.
This is why I have been without contacts for a year. I went to two different doctors and neither was able to fit me with a pair that accurately corrected my vision. Luckily, this weekend I mentioned my troubles to John Z, who happens to be an optometrist. “Gimmee, ten minutes,” he said, “and I’ll fix you right up.”
John strives to provide excellent “patient care,” as opposed to customer service. It’s always weird to see a friend in a professional environment, putting on their game face, as it were. John had noticed my left eye drifting the night before (which it does when I am drunk or tired, check the archives), and also diagnosed a mild astigmatism. In nine minutes, I was seeing the world clearer than I had in a long time through a new pair of contacts. Thanks, Johnny Z!
Today’s pic is my tree, which I love, sharply lit by the morning sun.
