Thanks Pachyderm - he's very honest.

During my first visit with him, he made me angry because he appeared so gleeful. I was reeling in a state of shock by this news I had never believed before. For my entire life, I vowed I would NEVER, EVER be anything like my mom. This jerk was looking deep into my eyes and telling me I was EXACTLY like my mom - all the way through. How DARE he.

While he was still looking into my eyes and taking excruciatingly painful photographs, he said to me "How do you feel about all of this - your mom was very bitter." I wanted to slap him for insulting my mother.

I asked him if he had ever talked to mom about me. He laughed and said "Yeah, I heard you were a real brat and pain in the butt. How come you never came to see me?"

Gotta love that man's honesty. We have a good relationship now because I know I can trust him to give it to me straight.

He likes to show me off to his colleagues. At my last visit, he had someone in from the East Coast take a look into my eyes. The doc looked through the slit-lamp into my eyes, sighed and wistfully uttered "beauuuuuuutiful." Then he caught himself and realized he was looking into the eyes of a living person and quickly apologized for....um....calling me beautiful.

It's a sad day when calling a woman "beautiful" would be considered an insult.
