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.

...That doesn't sound heartwarming at all.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

My sentiments exactly.

[sapanwood.livejournal.com]

I thought doctors were supposed to be nice, or at least pretend to be nice. Not sarcastic.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

In other words, you don't expect doctors to be people with opinions.

[sapanwood.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying that! But you're not just expressing opinions- you're obviously grouchy.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I am expressing my opinions. I'm emoting too. Wouldn't you say grouchy is an emotion?

[sapanwood.livejournal.com]

Of course it's an emotion, but being grouchy is pointless. It doesn't solve anything. You can express your opinions without being mean or grouchy.

...Or maybe it's just late and you're tired.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Nothing obstructs my ability to solve.

And I'm like this all of the time.

There's a Russian proverb: "Хва́стать – не коси́ть, спина́ не боли́т."

It's easy enough to brag, but actually doing it is another story.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I brag for a reason. I'm good.

[sapanwood.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you are.
