A fifty year old lady presented herself with a history of a left red eye (conjunctivitis) for the last three weeks! Her left eye was extremely red and watery and half-closed and she was in some pain. When questioned further she said that she had had visited three private doctors, the first two had given her steroid eye drops and the third gave her an antibiotic eye drop PLUS oral antibiotics to boot! And altogether she had spent almost $200.00 in consultations and medications...
She said her problem started 3 weeks ago following an itchy and watery left eye which later became red and painful. It was observed that the three doctors had given her medication to treat the red eye but no medication to control her pain... so she went from one doctor to the other, trying to get pain relief and not getting it.. poor woman.
