I thought so... You've never even BEEN in a successful optometry
office... probably couldn't even name one without looking up a name
on the net (SCLERAL FIXATED IOLs????? ARTIFICAL IRIS IMPLANTS??????
ARE YOU NUTS??????????) or in the phone book. You've never even dealt
with people in a public setting, much less patients, you have little
knowledge of building code regulations and requirements, but you may
have
delivered pizzas. I don't know....probably!
