Cataract Surgery

When my mother was 91, I took her to an ophthalmologist
for cataract surgery evaluation. She was blind in one eye,
couldn't hear well and used a walker. The doctor briskly
gave her a cursory examination.

At the end of the session, he held up three fingers, asking
Mother, "How many fingers do I have?"

"I hope you have five if you're going to operate on me!" she
snapped.

He gave her his full attention. :11:
