His
client had developed redness over her eyelids. Could I come?
As
I wrote last time, rashes are easy, and eyelid rashes mostly turn out to be one
of two or three diagnoses. I asked for the room number.
The
guest was in a meeting, the caller responded. When I arrived, I should ask the
concierge to fetch her.
So
I did. The concierge phoned and informed me that the meeting would end shortly.
I waited half an hour.
As
expected, the eyelid rash was no problem. After accepting a tube of cream, she
mentioned that her knee had hurt since her run the previous day. I examined the
knee and reassured her. Then we talked about her husband who had a sore
shoulder but refused to see a doctor.
