Occasionally, I suffer from Conjunctivitis - a common infection affecting the eye usually treatable with medicated eye-drops. I rarely ever complete a full-course of medication even though I probably should. This, of course, means I've usually got something left over from the last time. Well, in late 2007 I managed to get Conjunctivitis once again so I decided to use the eye-drops I had to sort it out. This caused my eye to become even more infected so I went to the doctors to seek advice and to get another prescription. The doctor, who could be described as 'ambulance happy', heavily implied that my eye was in serious danger and I needed to go to the RVI immediately. An ambulance was called and off I went thinking I was about to lose an eye. When I got to the hospital, I explained what I had done (as I had to my GP). The doctor there examined my eye and concluded that it was a simple case of Conjunctivitis - just as I thought.
All that panic for nowt. However, I did have an exam that day which was postponed due to the alleged seriousness of my condition.
