084. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

And then there was one blind man. Circumstances beyond my means or understanding have deprived a sound, logical medical investigation. Or as I like to say--got the easy way out. Heartwarming, wonderful in that way that Hallmark hopes to mimic every time, isn't it?

There's work still to be done. I haven't seen Dr. Deus Ex Machina around here to pick up his shift everywhere else.

Say Dr. Jimmy, (I wasn't aware that was your official moniker) I can't help but notice it looks like you're trying to get an Eden of your own. The least she could do is pick up an accent. I guess that's what the button nose is for. Right?

Observations:
fundoscopy at a typical level
visualization + dreaming
Optokinetic nystagmus -> no
frequent seizuring -> no

Looks like cortical blindness. Boring.

Already they sound more sensible than I believed.

We're not talking feathered wings and halo for real, are we?

I haven't met it. It says it's an Angel. If anything the response to it suggests otherwise.

Two cases of blindness from one entity. We need to fill more of the holes in this parable.

There are incidents of Biblical blindess. Saul. Peter isn't a persecutor or a sinner.

After his affliction, St Paul also writes: And no marvel, for even Satan disguises himself as an Angel of light.

As impressive as your spot on theological commentary is, it doesn't help this case.

An angel can be anyone's perception of bright, visually appealing thing that can appear helpful or caring. And because we call it a duck doesn't mean it's a duck.

That's my point. In the passage Paul talks about not taking those who claim to be good wholly at their word. Everybody lies.

So ask the Angel.

Good idea. Go for it.

I broke my sunglasses. Send Jimmy.

[Clinic Filter]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

And you can't buy new ones?

Send Cameron since sunglasses are so expensive. She'll likely be impervious.

[Clinic Filter]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Right, you can page Cameron. She practically qualifies herself.

Do we have a location for angel sightings?

[Clinic Filter]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

By the fountain. Red hair and a rottweiler.

Already it does not sound like an angel.

Appearances can be deceptive.

By the way, I cleared up the last of your current paperwork this evening.

[Clinic Filter]

Are you sure they weren't blind already?

What do you want.

[Clinic Filter]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Nothing. Just, mention it to Cameron when you page her.

So she doesn't go looking.

[Clinic Filter]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I'm not a carrier pigeon. I'll page her for divine intervention.

[Clinic Filter]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Fine.
