Wow. I don't watch CSI Miami. Is it like Miami vice?
But, it is good to know that they are giving positive characters in main stream television KC to cope with.
When is it on?

It's actually on tonight on Living TV at 9pm. A guy called Mr Wolfe has KC. Keep lookout for it. I was soooo impressed, my husband was so pleased for us. No one I ever speak to knows what it is, they look at me like i have two heads.

Will they take his gun of him, or is he not armed anyway?
Can just imagine his colleagues shouting "take him out NOW" and he'll respond "which one?!!"

My GP hadn't heard of it either when I once mentioned I had it.

Diane, unless my hearing let me down ( I do also have tinnitus amongst my afflictions), Wolfe has Keratitis and not KC

I didn't see it but did think that having a character with KC was extremely odd! LOL!!!
Keratitis sounds like a much better bet and something that he can recover from well.
Michael good to hear from you! You have been very quiet lately hehe probably enjoying the holidays!!!

Whilst we're on the subject, I can't remember if I ever asked before but how do you actually pronounce Keratoconus?
I'm sure every time I tell someone I have it I pronounce it slightly differently
Thanks,
