I mean, sure, I try to put on a good show for folks — depending on the whims of my mood, of course — but at the end of the day it’s just “1 or 2, 3 or 4…ad freaking nauseum.

See, that’s why I could never be an eye doc. I can’t get past 8 because I always forget what 8 was for...
I take one, one, one cause you left me,
And two, two, two for my family,
And three, three, three for my heartache,
And four, four, four for my headaches,
And five, five, five for my lonely,
And six, six, six for my sorrow,
And seven, seven for no tomorrow,
And eight, eight, I forget was eight was for,
But nine, nine, nine for the lost gods,
Ten, ten, ten, ten for everything, everything, everything...

This lecturer is like, no way, the chick version, I mean, what, of Nicholas Fehn.
Mav’s reaction today at the exact moment that they announce that the Continuing Education Symposium for the National Association of the Brotherhood of Eye Docs of America will be breaking for lunch...
I’m NEVER going to reverse a patient’s opioid overdose with Naloxone. Never. So why the hell is this chick rambling to a bunch of eye docs about how to do it?
Wanna know how I treat overdoses? I don’t, that’s how. Why? BECAUSE I’M A F¥€KING OPTOMETRIST, NOT AN ER DOC.

lol that's hilarious.
Raise your hand and ask if this event will be catered by Chic Fil-A.

Say that reminds me...does Buc-ees do catering? If not...why not?

Now she’s preaching that if we’re ever prescribed an opioid (post surgery, for example) we should properly purge any unused pills from the house. F#%k that, I ain’t not Gallant pussboi. I’m team Goofus and I ALWAYS save excess pills for a rainy day, obviously — how else you gonna build up a supply?
You numb the pain with alcohol and Benadryl for a couple days, then when your Norco Rx “runs out” you call and beg for a refill, BOOM, you’ve now got like 30 spare pills to either sell or use for fun. This shit ain’t hard folks.

Raise your hand if you think that mav should be the one up there on that stage doing the lecturing.
Good Lord. I’ve got 5 1/2 more hours of this today and another 8 tomorrow. I’d die without a smartphone. Bless you Steve Jobs.
And thank you, my loyal CatPawian friends, for allowing me to ramble.
I’m literally dying here, figuratively.
I hate all the audience suck-ups who raise their hands every time a speaker asks “How many of you have seen blah blah blah?” Yeah, we ALL have, you f#=king idiot, but most of us don’t need to preen and broadcast it.
I’d say a solid 17-18% of the chicks here are doable, which is quite impressive for an opto-gathering. Dunno whether that speaks more to a general lowering of my standards as I’ve gotten older, or if it represents a true increase in quality. Either way, it helps to pass the time.
Is it common for opioid addicts to get their eyes checked? I wouldn’t have guessed that.
Sounds much better than a radiation safety conference.
Raise your hand and ask, "How exactly does the human eye work? I know I work on 'em for a living, but I'm confused most of the time. I'll hang up and listen."
Or make several Rand Paul remarks.

You can't have no teeth AND be blind.
I would ask why an eyeball can’t see itself.
Dude you’d be surprised how many addicts I see. Simultaneously amazing and sad.
Must be part of a code that they live by. Gots no teeth, but gonna make damn sure my eyeball prescription is right.
Much like the Mandalorians who have prescription lenses in their helmets which they wear to hide their lack of teeth.
Oh they gotta have their contacts man. First priority is drugs, second is contacts, third is drugs.
HIPAA compliance is a bureaucrat’s wet dream.
This seems sketchy BUT it seems if executed properly this would result in good times or definitely extra cash.
I feel like the lecture would revolve around lots topics and none would be about eyes.Raise your hand if you think that mav should be the one up there on that stage doing the lecturing.
To answer the lowering of standards question you must ask your self one question: is there something in years past that would result in a hard pass? Like a lazy eye. Today its no problem. Years past it resulted in a no or 12 a pack would cure it. If it requires no help. Your standards have in fact lowered.
Yep. We deal with it from an IT aspect nearly every day.
Dude after listening to that guy scare us with BS minutiae for two hours, I don’t see how you haven’t gone completely mental.
I’m astounded that in 2022 there are still morons who don’t know/practice proper elevator etiquette. Dumbasses think the door opening is a GD drag strip Christmas light tree hitting green and they gotta sprint in before it closes.
It’s simple physics, jackasses. Two (or more) things cannot occupy the same three-dimensional space. Ergo, I have to exit the elevator before your dumb ass can enter.

Bus and train etiquette is similar. Unfortunately, a select few yahoos on the outside gonna try rushing in before you can get out.
Day 2 of eye hell. You can only look at so many conjunctival cysts before you tune out.
Pretty cool what they can do with contacts these days though. 1-day, blue-blocking, moisture-locking, multifocal, colored toric (aka astigmatic) pieces of Saran-Wrap-thin siliconized plastic at an affordable price? It’s retty damned amazing, tbh.
First up: Eye cancer. Paraphrasing our long-lost Catpaw friend Willy4UK, “Eye cancer is almost as serious as dick cancer.”

I, for one, love my 20/30 vision provided by my scleral lenses.
They get goopy midday fogging after 8 hours of use or when I don’t stay hydrated, however. Tough when you’re driving and all of a sudden you can’t see shit.

We’re in this expansive conference room and I’m in a chair against the back wall (sitting in anything other than the back row is for suck ups), and there’s at least 12 feet between my feet and the back row of actual tables…so there’s a LOT of room for people to walk — yet I’d say a good 50% of the idiots walking in front of me pass within 12-18” of my feet (standard shins perpendicular to the ground/legs not extended arrangement). Pisses me off. I may have to trip one of these opto-mofos on general principle.
