<DIV><SPAN class=265501403-07062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>My EMT training
has certainly paid off for me personally. I always thought it was well worth
the cost and time, but never expected it to help me
personally.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=265501403-07062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am in Phoenix
taking a class (my wife and I just bought a juice bar franchise and we are in
training). This morning I noticed some flashes of light in the corner of my
right eye when I was looking to the left. They went away, but I had a
"floater" that I had not seen before. I went through the checklist from my EMT
training and at the top of the worst case was a retinal tear leading to a
retinal detachment. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=265501403-07062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I finished class
and went to the Sam's club down the street to see an eye doc, but he was out.
I went to an urgent care place in the same mall and the doc said it looked
just fine to him, but he did not have all the equipment to do a really good
job. So I asked for and got a recommendation to an ophthalmologist who had
about 30 minutes till closing and was about 3 miles away. I called and went to
see him. He did a normal check and said it was all good, but he wanted to do a
full check. He said the odds were about 0.2% that I was right, but he wanted
to be sure. I said do it. He found a small retinal tear in the lower outside
area of my right eye (the left was in very good shape). He said the tears are
normally in the upper part of the retina and gravity then makes them progress
faster to a detachment. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=265501403-07062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>The good news is
they can "weld" the retina back with a laser in an office procedure and they
say it will be as good as new. I'm go to class in the morning then seeing the
surgeon at 11AM and will be back in class by 2PM! Modern technology is
wonderful. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
