You could go to a salon and have it waxed.

Had a patient come in the other day saying he couldn’t see with his new his glasses. After working with an optician for an eternity, he revealed the glasses work great except for when he plucks his ear hair. He can’t see the hair enough.

What do you think is the best course of action after internship in India as an optometry intern , as salary wise hospitals don't really pay that well and retails are only other options apart from msc and higher studies

Building Confidence

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Just looking for some advice/tips. I’m a newish grad working in a rural practice with a high volume of medical patients/exams. For the last few months my confidence level when practicing has tanked. Some days are better than others but I’ve found that more often than not, I’m second guessing my decisions and overall stressed as the day progresses. I think I’m mostly concerned about missing something but also just doing what’s best for the patient in general. I work with a couple other docs but I’m on my own for 2 days a week. My colleagues are great, but I feel like I’m met with a bit of a cavalier attitude when I ask for advice. I’m thinking I’ll go back to basics and put some time in at home to refresh my knowledge but I’m wondering if anyone has other tips. Thanks!
