It’s a Dirty Job, but Someone Has to Do It

“I adjusted a patient’s frame and upon completion he says he doesn’t know how they got so out-of-whack just from falling in the toilet. Next up, scrubbing hands…” — Carissa D., Monroe, WA
“I will never forget when a gentleman came in and dropped his semi-rimless frame and lenses into my hands. Only after he’d placed them in my hands did he tell me ‘I bent over and they dropped right into a huge pile of manure.’ I must have scrubbed my hands for 30 minutes … after I fixed them.” — Frances Ann L., Valdosta, GA
