Lynda Grace An Hour Away: The Doctor Will See You Now, Finally!
My college eye doctor ran the place herself. Today there are an army of people at my current place, and they screwed up my prescription.
I wonder how many staff members you had to speak to in order to remedy your prescription?
It is kind of neat that they are employing so many. The thing is, did you have a lot of waiting time or did they keep you busy moving from person to person? Maybe that's their strategy.
I'm not sure what their strategy is. My impression is, though, the doctor doesn't want to be bothered with all of the other "menial" tasks. Or to put it in a more positive light, her skill set is more advanced. I don't know. The time I spent at there was not any less and actually, perhaps even more, than if I had only seen one person.
My eye doctor's office consists of three people, one of which I've never seen: the lovely woman at the desk, my eye doctor, and another eye doctor (the one I've never seen). My dentist's office is much the same: lady at the desk, dental hygienist, dentist. Makes life easier.
The way it should be, right?
I'm partial to the cat eye ones.
My optometrist doesn't make me do the eye drops. Or at least he didn't. I'm in the market for a new optometrist (long story).
Yes, I kind of like the cat eye ones too. My Dr. is an Ophthalmologist. The eye drops are used to dilate the eye so the doc can check for eye disease, such as cataracts, glaucoma, etc.
I see four people: the greeter, the person with the file that does some tests, the doctor, then the checkout lady. If I want need need contacts or frames that's another person. I never really thought about this before. I don't like the invasion of my personal space either!
I never thought about it before either, until that day. It's the same thing that happens when a patient is in the hospital. There is a parade of doctors in and out of your room.
