Omg, this was so scary to read. I'm so glad that you're doing better, Cheryl. I've concluded we'll never be happy with any medical system. Wherever we are, I think we never get appointments when we're in a dire situation (like you experienced) and there is certainly a fair amount of runaround and frustration before something is resolved. We're with an HMO here and I believe these are good only if your health is reasonably good; for any specialized treatment, you really have to jump through hoops.
Our planned move is for July. How long do we have to wait until we are eligible for the health care? And how much is private health insurance? So glad your eyes will be ok!! We need you!
Oh my. I wondered about you after the earthquakes... I too lived thru many during my California days and was downtown in SF for the big one in 1989. And, like you, I would have rearranged all my furniture after noticing the chandelier!
Your experience is so helpful for me to hear, to understand what to expect. And I’m very happy it has turned out ok for you with nothing too serious. Since you mentioned this was private care (the second doctor) can you share how much it cost? I’m glad your eye is healing!
Wow, I worked at Phillips Eye Institute in Minneapolis which is one of very few hospitals totally dedicated to eyes. We did surgery on hundreds of detached retinas. So please be careful.

Whew! Glad you are ok. Good story (as always)!
Spero che tutto prosegua per il meglio. Auguri!
