Medical Forum / General / Vision / February 2005Respect for Ophthalmology
Dear Friends, I have friends in both ophthalmology and optometry. They are doing to best that they can. While I might "technically" disagree with them about the analysis of the behavior of the dynamic eye, I respect that in many, perhaps most cases but to do what they were taught to do. So -- as always -- please respect the man -- even though you think a "second opinion" should be more completely developed and implemented. Best, Otis <otisbrown@pa.net> wrote in message > They are doing to best that they can. You don't know how much better I feel now that you said this. --------------------------- ***** OTIS WARNING ***** This posting is an automatic reply to any sci.med.vision newsgroup thread that is receiving comments from a person named "Otis", "Otis Brown", "otisbrown@pa.net" or "Otis, Engineer". Otis is not an expert in any field of vision. His medical and eyecare training is nil. He is a proponent of a myopia prevention technique that is unproven. Otis continually misquotes people in his posts. He drops the names of doctors whom he falsely claims to be associated with. He has been caught in out-and-out lies. He has given people incorrect medical advise. Sadly, his behavior suggests he may have psychological problems that compel him to argue against people just for the sake of causing an argument. Otis is what is known in internet newsgroup lingo as a "troll". Do not reply to his postings-- it just takes up bandwidth and storage space that should be reserved for meaningful topics. It also just fulfils his sick psychological needs. No one means to suppress the honest opinions of others. This message is only meant to forewarn newcomers who might misconstrue Otis as a trained eyecare expert. Those of us who have been here for awhile know Otis oh too well! For anyone who is interested in understanding the true state of scientific/medical research on myopia prevention, I offer the following link: http://annals.edu.sg/pdf200401/V33N1p4.pdf. If you are truly interested in Otis' theories of myopia prevention then visit his favorite websites www.i-see.org and www.chinamyopia.com. If you have other topics you wish to discuss, there are experts here who will usually help you. Don't waste your time with Otis. Please see the weekly posting "welcome to sci.med.vision", which usually appears on Mondays, for a guide regarding this newsgroup and for information on how to filter out Otis' posts so that you may be able to participate in worthwhile discussions in this forum. Dear Friends -- excluding RM of course, There are some ODs who are attempting to offer the "second opinion". I posted a neutral remark. RM posts an "attitude". There are some ODs who are compassinate and responsble -- and will assist you by offering you a choice between alternatives -- which RESPECT your visual future. When a man OVER REACTS to a kind statement -- you must understand the intense bias in his mind. It is truly tragic that some ODs are like this -- but they are -- and this is direct proof for that arrogances -- and associate ignoance. But -- enjoy these discussions and learn from them. Best, Otis Otis said: "I posted a neutral remark." Is that a delusion? Let's try monumental arrogance towards eye care professionals and a monolithic ignorance of science-based medicine. DrG Dear Friends, If you read my post under "Engineering" you will understand how and why engieering-scientific truth must be separated from "medical-truth". People in medicine must deal with the CONSEQUENCES of obese childrens. In engineering-science there is no question about children "getting fat", nor is there any question about the solution -- in engineerng. But is "medical science" they can seem to figure this out. It that the fault of engineering-science, or is the fault of the child's "bad habits". As an engineer -- I do not deal with a person's "bad habits". I will tell him what is going to happen to him if he persists in that "bad habit" of over eating. And when he keeps on doing it -- is the becomes a "subject" for "medical science. In effect engineering of that level is "pro-active", while medicine is necessarily "re-active". No "fault" or "blame" should be attached either to engieering-science or medicine under this circumstane. But the issue must be resolved by the person himself. Truly an honest but difficult choice. Best, Otis Engineer Please disregard the comments of this poor pathetic Otis man. He pretends to have an understanding of medicine and ophthalmology when in fact he only is pushing his own personal agenda. Otis is enamoured with himself. He actually believes his own twisted illogical arguments. Otis is a kindly grandfatherly man who has developed a touch of dementia. It's OK to humour him, but don't take him seriously.
