his doctor told him it would go away soon, just like my doctor. so i was asked for some "advice" and i said, eat healthy, take a b-complex and/or b-12 supplement, and obviously, he should be taping his eyes shut every night as to prevent eye damage.
turns out his doctor didn't even tell him to do that! the vitamin b thing i can understand, neither doctors i visited knew about it. all they can really do is shrug their shoulders about treatment. but not informing your patient about essential things - like how to prevent corneal ulcers and eye infections - is disturbing on so many levels. i've been on a few bell's message boards and it appears that many patients' doctors are equally dismissive and unknowledgeable about bell's in general.
it almost makes me want to write a book.
