I received a call from one of my patients this morning at 3:30 A.M. (I am on 24 hour call.) He stated that his eye was in pain and tearing. He told me he was surprised I answered I the cell, I told him I would see him at the office in 15 minutes. (I live 1/2 mile from the office.) I treated him with drops and told him to return in about 5 hours. The pain and tearing subsided and the eye looked less angry (red). The relief that the patient experienced was extremely gratifying to me as a doctor. Anyway, after I saw the patient at 4:00 A.M., I wound up going to the gym and working out.
