At the Ramada, I cared for a lady whose eyes were red
and itchy. She had no allergies, and I saw no evidence of an infection. I
suspected something was irritating them, and she had been using several
over-the-counter eye-drops. Drops themselves can irritate eyes, especially with
persistent use, so I told her to stop.
No eye drops for an eye problem?.... She looked uneasy
at this suggestion, so I left a bottle of antibiotic drops but told her to call
in two days if she still felt bad and wanted to use them. This is another
occasion why so many patients prefer alternative medical practitioners
(herbalists, nutritionists, acupuncturists…). No alternative healer tells a
patient: “Don’t do anything. This will go away.” There’s always a treatment.
