[NFBMD] When the Patient is Blind

[Bernadette Jacobs]

Now Michelle, I think you’ve opened up a can of worms with this one.  I’d be willing to bet there are as many stories as the people who have them to share.  I have my own myriad of experience with the medical profession and how they deal with the blindness thing.  Unfortunately, I don’t think you’re gonna hear much positive...  Certainly not from me.  That’s why I kept my mouth shut till now.  Yes.  I’ve had some very good, care.  But, I think the good and the bad are equal in this game.
