I saw real kindness yesterday. A very elderly woman who was pretty blind was treated like a queen by staff at Emory Eye Clinic. The receptionist made sure the patient knew where to catch her ride because the patient was confused. She call transport and a porter came to take the patient to catch her ride. The porter fussed over the patient telling her how pretty she was and how well dressed. This was at the end of a long day for the staff. I was almost in tears to see the kindness and tenderness. There are still kind people in the world.

The last time I saw her she recommended artificial tears 3 to 4 times a day. I was told by her that I have extremely dry eyes. She asked if I used the tears I said YES! Which was a LIE I told her. She told me that my eyes were much better since I have been using the drops which I have never in my life used. So either I never had dry eyes or they are still dry. The Dr said they looked better since I had been using the drops. She barely took the time to examine my eyes. If I had to guess she may have spent 3 mins at most looking in both eyes after instilling drops in each eye. I'm guessing the reason was because I waited so long and she didn't want me there any longer.
