After working the phones on and off for the last few months, I finally managed to get a referral to one of the best (if not *the* best) Oculoplastics specialists in British Columbia, Dr. Peter Dolman. The soonest I can get in is in September with him, but he’s going to go over my [...]
Just got a call from Vancouver General Hospital. Turns out in just a few weeks I’ll get the privilege of relaxing inside a big metal tube for an hour down in the MRI clinic. Apparently I can wear my own clothes, as long as there isn’t any metal on them at all. [...]
