Both ends of the medical spectrum

So, what am I talking about today? Well, it is as I have said: both ends of the medical spectrum. At one end you have the doctor who genuinely feels that there is no hope for his blind patient and at the other end there is the one who honestly believes that in my lifetime something or some breakthrough is going to come along and restore my vision.

I have seen both ends of the spectrum. Seven years ago I had the misfortune to run into Dr. William Dixon who told me, "You have reached the end of the line and in your lifetime there won't be anything for you." A few months ago I had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Kraft who told me, "You never know! You're still young and something is going to come along and change things for you."

I judge no one and I criticize no one, but how different can attitudes be in this field! On the one hand you have a doctor who holds out no hope for you and on the other you have another who is the opposite.

I'm Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and asking you to go out there and share my blogs with others.
