[nfb-db] Usher 3

[April Brown]

Hi Darlene,

     In the last year and a half, I have been to multiple vision specialists.  The first, barely spoke English, and interrupted me frequently.  After an MRI, he just wanted me to come back every two months.

We went to a low vision clinic, where I was diagnosed legally blind.  This doctor, a female, listened to every symptom, and did many tests of varying types.

She sent me to a neuroophthalmologist to get more tests done to determine a diagnosis.  For some reason, his staff chose not to copy the records they were given, so he had no records.  He didn't have time to listen to symptoms.  Once a month, I had to go in for different types of ERGS.  At the follow up, six months later, he let a doctor in training, who never looked at my records, my vision field, or heard my symptoms, decide I had nothing wrong with my eye.

We went to another  neuroophthalmologist with high hopes.

This creep never called me by name, called me a liar, and refused to hear any symptoms.  I did manage to get out the white flashes with the black spot, and vision loss in the lower quadrant.  He said it was false, and people over 40 see white spots all the time.

I'm done with eye specialists in this state!
