I really like it when at work, an elderly patient comes in for an eye exam, and her husband is right there with her through every question asked and test performed. Or vice versa, an elderly gentleman's wife is with him every step of the way. And they're not impatient or grouchy that they have to be there; rather, they understand how important a regular eye checkup can be, especially if it's borderline or beginning stages of glaucoma or cataracts, or even for surgery. Oh, that's better - when I'm wheeling out a patient who just got cataract surgery, and the husband or wife is there to smile and ask how their spouse is doing. It's just so nice to see.
And it gives me hope. For what though, I'm not exactly certain myself.
