A Maxillofacial Surgeon enters an Optometrist’s office, noting the Optometrist reading in braille, nodding while in seemingly agreeable conversation with an Ophthalmologist present. After exchanging greetings, the Maxillofacial Surgeon follows directions from the Optometrist and the Ophthalmologist between a Phoropter, Retinoscope, Ophthalmoscope, Tonometer, and Slit Lamp. The Optometrist consults with the Ophthalmologist about holistic medicinal approaches toward healthier eyes. The Optometrist, types, prints a document in braille, hands the document to the Ophthalmologist who is finishing extending a pocket walking cane and is now conversing, reading, and walking around the office. The Ophthalmologist says, “I have a stock full of almonds, carrots, and oranges, always, and advise individuals that care about their eyes to consume them regularly— the almonds, carrots, and oranges, not their own eyes—as I do. Thanks again, for your help.” The Optometrist responds,

“Thank you again, I hope all the rest of your procedures go well.” After the Ophthalmologist leaves the office, the Optometrist apologizes to the Maxillofacial Surgeon, and says,

“After a morning full of procedures, the Ophthalmologist has many upcoming procedures, and I refer individuals with extensive particular needs to the Ophthalmologist, one of the best alive.” The Maxillofacial Surgeon responds,

“Perfectly, fine. The Ophthalmologist’s steadiness conversing, reading, and maneuvering with a walking cane, is astonishing! So, how are you considering my eyes?” The Optometrist responds,

“Perfectly, fine. Come again in one or two years.” The Maxillofacial Surgeon nods, responding,

“You don’t ever miss your patients so much that you want them to come in again sooner, like in six months, even if for a cleaning?” The Optometrist responds, after chuckling,

“Like telling a child with new fillings that really loves candy to come see me in six months, for a cleaning? Candy to an eye and candy to a mouth are quite different.” The Maxillofacial Surgeon responds, on the way out of the office,

“Yes, and they may both be quite sweet.”

Onward and Upward,
