Look, nobody said there aren't other good ophthalmologists out there. My wife just recommended the ones she’s actually worked with before. I can also vouch for Light; I've had quite a bit of experience with them since I've taken family members there. They're professional, quick, and efficient. They managed to fix most of our issues—though, sadly, some things just couldn't be helped. I can't really compare prices, though, because I haven't been to any other eye clinics.
wiredseal7 said:Actually, a buddy and his wife had to isolate with their kid because the other kid at daycare tested positive. So there they were—forced into isolation as third-degree contacts, if you want to paraphrase. 😵
It’s likely because kids rarely show symptoms—or they're so mild people don't even bother reporting them—plus, trying to catch that tiny window when they actually test positive is nearly impossible.
Disclaimer: I didn't hear this directly from the source, just a secondhand account—so take it with a grain of salt.
Man, I don't believe this. In this situation under US guidelines, only the child whose mom is sick goes into isolation. Not their friends from daycare, and definitely not the parents. That's assuming the kid of the sick mom is healthy, obviously. We dealt with plenty of cases like that at the daycare.
Ronald Chavez2 said:That’s only because those family members isolated simply because they didn't have a decent setup at home to actually quarantine an infected person properly. You just tell the epidemiologist that the sick person was kept in a separate room, that the last contact happened when you drove them to get tested, and suddenly your ten-day clock starts ticking from that moment, doesn't it?
I guess that's fine if it's actually true. But if it isn't, I'm really not okay with putting people's health and lives at risk.
Morgan Peterson said:Either this was written incorrectly, or it's simply imprecise. My household members were required to be in self-isolation from the very day I received my positive test result. As far as I was concerned, my isolation period began when symptoms first appeared, but since I wasn't even tested until nearly ten days later, I was technically only in isolation for one single day; meanwhile, they had to remain in isolation for another nine days following my lead.
I guess every epidemiologist handles things differently. I know plenty of cases where family members stayed in isolation starting from the day the sick person recovered. The epidemiologist in my city tells us you can still be contagious on the very last day of the primary patient's illness, so because of that, everyone else's isolation period starts from that final day. And honestly, that makes sense to me.

About a week after that automated reply, I finally heard back from the caseworker saying the request was processed.
I went in for a dermoscopy at the Rib clinic last week (had to deal with the traffic coming from the Neighborhood), and they’re doing fine. Plastic surgery is up and running too; I managed to snag an appointment for two weeks from now.

What kind of tests are you talking about? Yeah, the symptom has been there for years. It just shows up, disappears, and then comes right back again.
I've been dealing with this pain under my left ribs for years now. Sometimes it's just a dull ache, sometimes it gets a bit sharper, and other times I just feel this weird shifting sensation inside without any actual pain. On top of that, I’ve been running a slight fever. Every test I've gone for comes back perfectly fine. The only thing I haven't done is a colonoscopy—I just couldn't bring myself to go through with it. I don't really pay much attention to it anymore, though it isn't exactly great living with this constant discomfort. It's not unbearable, but it definitely gets on my nerves.
