Ye ol' "pink eye", conjunctivitis, is what's with my eyes. My cold - sore throat, congestion, aches - weakened my system, allowed the bacterial infection to get into my eyes.

It took about two hours for me to get in to see a doctor. The nurse was indifferent but the doctor was friendly and alert, not to mention helpful. They have some sort of pharmacy there within medstop and they had the three drugs I needed on hand, which saved me a ton of money. They charged $10 each, whereas the three would have cost me about $120 at a drugstore. This because I have no insurance. It is interesting that almost always the doctors are considerate of my need to save money and come up with ways to help.

I used all three before I got out of the parking lot. Now I have to wash everything I've been in contact with in the last 24 hours, stay away from work for the next 24 hours, try not to infect anyone else. I feel better already.
