Caption: IMO participated in a community outreach program at a local park in Querétaro where people over the age of 50 could come and get healthcare of all kinds at an affordable price. IMO offered eye checkups, vision checks, and for those who needed glasses, they had those too! Patients could come in and get their lens prescription and choose the type of glasses they wanted. The best part about all this? The glasses cost 50 pesos ($2.74) and IMO saw upwards of 250 patients!

Doakan yang baik-baik...
In March 2017 I decided to knock a bucket list item out and drive Route 66. Along the way a photographer friend and I were checking out some rather dirty mining communities north of Area 51 in Nevada. On the drive home my nose kept itching and became inflamed. I didn’t think much of it though. I was generally sore from driving thousands of miles and hiking from sun up to sun down during the whole trip.
Oh, did I mention I’m a Type 1 Diabetic? Also that I have a morbid fascination with medical forensics? Well I couldn’t resist documenting my struggle with MRSA.
On April 4th I noticed a pimple growing on my inner left wrist and it popped. It then started itching and getting really red, to the point where I immediately went in to urgent care. The doctor looked at it, said it was an ingrown hair, and sent me off with an antibiotic. I knew she was wrong.
Every day I called the nurse and told her it was getting worse. A week later I sent photos to my doctor, who had me come in right away. The infection on my wrist had grown into a 4x3cm oozing solid mass of itchiness and pain. He said, “that’s really messed up” when he looked at it. A few minutes later he came back and sent me to the hospital down the street.
While there the nurses and doctors, even ones not assigned to me, came to look at the infection. Within a few hours I was in the OR getting it removed. However a week later I needed a skin graft to cover the exposed area due to tissue necrosis. They took a slice of skin from my stomach and stapled the area up.
So after two surgeries I start to feel better. I took some time off of work and spent the days loaded up on Oxycodone (which I hated) and antibiotics. Things started getting better. Until…
May 4th I went in for a follow up examination and it was like any other. Only they forgot to take the staples out of my side and stitches out of my hand. I was too loaded up on Oxycodone and I really didn’t question their judgement. But the stitches and staples were supposed to come out between 10-14 days.
Type 1 Diabetics have a depressed immune system and are at risk for infection. Even more so with wounds that pierce the skin. While things were getting better after the first two surgeries, they soon took turn for the worse.
On May 27 I went in for a checkup and the nurse asked when the stitches and staples were removed. I responded that they were still in. She asked when I had my surgery. I said the 24th. She then asked… “Three days ago?” I responded, “No, April 24.” It was clear she knew an error had been made. After looking at the medical notes in more detail she noticed that I was ALSO a Type 1 Diabetic and audibly gasped.
I cursed like a sailor when every one of those 16 stomach staples came out. On top of that I pointed out that a new pimple, just like the original, was growing on the top of my left wrist. The doctors were very concerned and rightly so. It grew into another massive MRSA infection that required surgery.
Along the way I was also worried about other pimples that appeared on my feet and hands. But these disappeared as I was taking more oral antibiotics. During this time I was also getting daily antibiotic infusions. They took an incredible toll on my right arm. It looked like I was a heroin addict with all the blown infusion insertion attempts. The nurses would not use my left arm until I begged them to one day.
The last infusion though was the roughest and never completed. As a Type 1 Diabetic I have been injecting insulin via syringe for over 20 years. Needles are not something I am afraid of. However upon sight of the infusion needle I muttered to the nurse, “I don’t feel good.”
Over the next 15 minutes two nurses kept my head up straight and applied cold packs to my neck. I could not talk at all for the next few minutes. After a while I was able to say “low blood sugar” and they checked it right away. However, my blood sugar was not low. I was having a somatic response to the sight of the needle. The nurses said I was white as a ghost during that time.
So now the fun part of the backwards American medical system begins. The bills. I’m on the hook for a certain percentage, which in the end amounts to about the same as I spent on my vacation in the first place. I am EXTREMELY FORTUNATE to have one of the best health plans since I work for UW-Madison. However, it is a huge drag to go through.

Women and their children sit in a backyard, awaiting their turn a basic medical checkup. Most of these women, fly prostitutes, can not afford medical care and these clinics offered by American volunteers help them not only to meet their physical needs, but spiritual, as well. As the women wait their turn, they hear stories from the Bible. (photo by Torie Speicher)

A month after the grass was planted, researchers return to the planting site to check on its survival. A quad (pictured) is placed over the planting unit to count the number of shoots that are present and determine how many shoots survived the initial planting. Any lost shoots are replaced, and researchers return in one month to check survival again.

I went to the eye doctor today, optomitrist or whatever, regular checkup... out of all the test this was by far the coolest, I put each eye up to a eye scanner, and a green light brightly and quickly scanned from right to left, my eye while dialated.
In the photo you can see, in the center, all the blood vessels coming together, behind this is where my optic nerve is. The small dark mass to the left is the point on the eye where you have the best vision, the name escapes me at this time. The green light is what is, I assume, the light from the green scanning light that is being reflected off of my eye. Normally I guess it would be red or black. This is not photoshopped at all, this is how the image appeared on the doctors' computer screen, and I asked if I could photograph a copy for myself (you may still see some scanlines from the monitor)
On this eye on the right, a small blurry black dot appears. It seems to be a mole, but he examined it manually with a hand tool and could not see it, therefore he deduced that is was an optical anomoly, or some kind of eyeball 'floater'. On the bottom right you can see my eyelashes.
How often do I get the chance to take this self portrait.
One eye is dilated, one normal.
Normally, a sign of some neurological disorder, this is just the result of my checkup after minor surgery to repair a retinal tear in my left eye.
Note to all of you out there reading this: Pay attention to anything different in your vision. These are symptoms that, if heeded early, may save your sight.
I noticed a large new floater in my left eye weekend before last. I knew this is one of the signs of a problem with the retina. No retina, no sight in that eye. So I paid attention and made an early appointment with my opthamologist.
Signs to look out for (from Wikipedia):
- Flashes of light - very brief in the extreme peripheral (outside of center) part of vision
- A sudden dramatic increase in the number of floaters
- A ring of floaters or hairs just to the temporal side of the central vision
- A slight feeling of heaviness in the eye
- A dense shadow that starts in the peripheral vision and slowly progresses towards the central vision
- The impression that a veil or curtain was drawn over the field of vision
- Straight lines (scale, edge of the wall, road, etc.) that suddenly appear curved
- Central visual loss
In my case, a small tear in my retina was repaired using a freezing technique - cryopexy, to tack down the tear.
My eye doc says that the tear is healing up nicely. Another checkup in three weeks and I should be assured that all is right with the eye. For now.
Ever vigilant, because my mother lost her vision to macular degeneration for the last 11 years of her life.
I like to see, and with both eyes.
