Medical Notes

Is it possible to challenge the original author of this letter and query what he said?
It is always possible for doctors, even hospital consultants, to make mistakes.

I once had a letter from Moorfields, talking about my visiona nd tolerance times with my corneal lenses.
I've never worn corneal lenses in my life!
I sent the letter back with a "shure shome mishtake?" type response. It turned out he'd been reading the wrong person's notes.
Grrrr.

Hi Rosemary,

Well, I'll certainly get my regular consultant (who the letter was addressed to) to tell me what she thinks, and failing any joy there will ask the other chap next time I see him.

Good idea John

I am a little alarmed at the possibility of continued use of steroids actually causing Glaucoma. I have been on prednisolone drops (pred forte) ever since I stopped dexamethasone drops. so I have been using steroid drops now for two and a quarter years.

could you keep us in touch with how things are going?

[By the way, my thanks to Knight for the excellent sig icon]
