Hey Laurie!

OK...I have already learned a load with your new website, but look at what you have turned me into...it's almost 2 am, and all I want to do is watch more!   Nerd Alert!!  ;)

I had a question for you and said to myself..."oh, I gotta remember to ask Laurie about that...."  Alas, I didn't write it down and now I forgot.  Boo-hiss.  Anyway, I will ask when I think of it, but just thought you might get a smile out of knowing that your work is making a positive impact on my work and I am loving it!  I would rather stay up watching your training vids instead of sleeping, or watching Leno or Fallon.

I do, however, need to cart myself off to bed now....

Peace,

K.A.

Regarding your e-blast about perceptions...

When I sold my practice 2 years ago I took one of our panopthalmascopes with me.  Didn't use it much, but thought it might have occasion benefit.  I was discussing with one if my veterinary friends that at one practice where I do relief work, that they always have a regular opthalmascope out on the table when I am doing exams.  She pointed out that at her practice they always examine the fundus.  Well, I had to" keep up with  the Jones, even the veterinary Jones", so I started using the panopthalmascope on almost every patient. Not only have I found 3 abnormalities , but all clients notice and see this as a high tech tool. When I do relief work, the staff sure does!  It gives me a immediate level of respect.  The other value is it's easy to let the staff use, so they can see what we are evaluating.   

By the way sine I am further from the patient, they tolerate it better than my regular opthalmascope.
