So we have had this wonderful patient at JEI who developed a corneal ulcer which ultimately bought her very frequent visits at the clinic. They always do. She was always very religious about making it to her appointments and always did what we asked. It's not an easy course if you've never done it - drops every 30 to 60 minutes in the beginning, sometimes even throughout the night the first few days. That's worse than having a hungry midnight infant.
She always had one thing to talk about which, to her, seemed far more interesting and important than her eye. It was her Kindle. Or her Cruz. Or whatever her most recent e-reader purchase was. She would buy one, take it for a spin (or a read), decide she didn't like it, and then turn around and sell it on Ebay for a profit. And they sold - every time. This lady made a profit turning over e-readers. What was even better was her ever longing desire to show me her latest one. I think it was only becuase I showed an interest.
It was only polite.
