Met With Students And Staff At San Joaquin Valley College In Rancho Cucamonga

A few employers including myself within the community met with students and staff at San Joaquin Valley College in Rancho Cucamonga, California. We went over ways for their students to improve their abilities in securing employment. Ideas, concerning appearance, enthusiasm, learning about social media and knowledge in general were discussed.

I had a child patient ...

I had a child patient who needed glasses consisting of a significant prescription in the right eye and very little prescription in the left eye. The patient who was able to express herself extremely well said she couldn't skim the material as easily with the glasses on as without. I was able to determine that the patient, when she read without the glasses, was not using her right eye. With the prescription on, she was using both eyes. The glasses were making her better able to use both eyes. However, the patient was use to not using her right eye when she read. For her this is easier. We'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.

I have come across a number of patients who have motion sickness when driving in a car. There are various reasons for motion sickness. It's interesting to me that many of my patients who have this experience more problems when sitting in the back seat of a car as compared to the front seat. More importantly, the problem is significantly reduced when they're actually driving.

I feel some component of this is visual. There's a lot more visual information an individual has to assimilate in the back seat. The passenger is looking at distances two feet away and also things that are very far away. In the front seat they're viewing things mostly at distance. When they're driving, they're actually holding onto the steering wheel so they know where they're going and the tactual sense is reinforcing the visual sense, therefore less problem.
