SRNVM REDUX: RETURN OF THE PANDA
THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP ANGIOGRAM OF ONE OF MY EARLIER PATIENTS. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH A SUBRETINAL NEOVASCULAR MEMBRANE THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF IMPROVING THE CONDITION. IN A CASE SUCH AS THIS, A RETINAL MD'S AIM IS TO PREVENT ANY PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE.

AFTER TAKING THIS PICTURE, I TOLD THIS PATIENT THAT I THOUGHT HER CONDITION RESEMBLED A PANDA BEAR. INITIALLY, SHE SEEMED A BIT "PUT-OFF" BY MY COMMENT; BUT AFTER OUR SESSION, SHE WANTED A COPY OF THE ANGIOGRAM TO SHOW FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SHE IS really WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH.
