    Rose Webster here, twice-certified COA (ophthalmology assisting), studied nursing & prosthetics, wrote a few #MedEd modules for #pharmacists. I agree, at 4:28: "He was always very calm, cool, and patient with trainees." I'd like to add that Dr John Fowler was also generous in helping everyone, even assistants during some in-house training. I reached out to some #ophthalmologists regarding my research on #Zika. We were told by #CNN #doctors: "80% have no signs or symptoms" yet SHRUNKEN baby skulls prompted me to look for co-infection small enough to pass the blood-brain-barrier. #Wolbachia (class: #rickettsiales) fits. And, it fits on a multiple-species level. My father was an environmental engineer. We had ecology books all over the house. How many doctors are aware there are 300 lbs of insects per pound of human? When researchers were baffled that H. Longicornis had jumped from ~1% with Wolbachia to almost 20%, I alerted Public Health Ontario who gave me a canned answer. They only test BLACK-legged ticks for #Lyme. H. Longicornis is brown. #MedEd was blaming #ClimateChange for the spread of disease? And it's a diagnosis in #medicine? Are you kidding me? I wrote Dominic LeBlanc in 2016. Heard from him in 2017, he passed my concerns along to Jane Philpott (I never heard from her). I wrote Dr Tam more than once. She completely ignores Wolbachia. I wrote 100s in #academia, #science, #medicine, and even #law. Two female researchers, Melissa Yoshimizu and Sarah Billeter confirmed 2018: Suspected and Confirmed Vector-Borne Rickettsioses of North America Associated with Human Diseases. It was only cited by 1 (probably me). At some point, once #pediatrics see enough male babies die (or be born with female bits), you'll get back the FULL-SCREEN for #Rickettsiales (including #Wolbachia) and hold #BillGatesBioTerrorist and others responsible for #CrimesAgainstHumanity. It's genus is found in #Geoengineering and in 2010, the EMA found #rickettsia "in a few batches" of #vaccines. I'll post @GetMyGist on Gab.com and Jason Yip's @maggini_19 #twitter acct. My acct was suspended April 2021 for stating the verifiable #fact: "Respectfully, ppl died who took #HCQ for #COVID ..." Cheers!

    Hi, I have large cup to disc ratio 0.6 and my optometrist said it’s normal and born with large optic nerves. My optometrist takes fundus pictures every year and monitor it and didn’t do any other tests. Is OCT exam required or fundus pictures helps checking damage? He checks my pressure via slit lamp which comes in normal range all the time
