Had a neighbor who is a D.O. Had a local practice that a number of neighbor people went to in a fairly upscale area. A good friend and neighbor’s wife went and got her eyes checked and bought glasses, to the tune of like $800. Husband of neighbor, also a good friend, swore out revenge when he found out what his wife had spent on a single pair of glasses. He was livid.
The D.O. and her scumbag husband (another story for another day) used to have all sorts of parties at their house. Holiday parties, Monte Carlo nights, etc., etc. with loads of food and almost always a big bowl of chilled shrimp. Husband of neighbor attended every party they had, would pull a chair up in front of the food table where the bowl of shrimp was, and proceed to consume nearly all of the shrimp. He would then stand up, give his regards to the host and hostess and others, and leave. I kid you not, he did this for several years. They never understood what the behavior was about, but everyone else knew. He swore he would get his $800 back in shrimp. The worthless couple has fled the neighborhood after they defaulted on their mortgage and gutted the house just prior to the bank taking it over, and to this day we still bug my neighbor buddy about plowing through the shrimp whenever there’s a party. As a side note, I went to this D.O. once. She did a good job with my Rx, but as soon as I came out she had this high pressure gal who was ready to put me into $500 designer frames before I got out the door. That’s the scam - they don’t make much of anything on the exam, they make it all on the stupid expensive markup on frames and add-ons. “But I don’t want the TruCoat!!!” -D > On Jun 3, 2020, at 8:24 PM, Craig via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > On Wed, 3 Jun 2020 15:52:59 -0500 Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> So how does that work if the prescription is bad?
