Blue

 Linking up to Medical Mondays with Your Doctor's Wife today. For those of you who don't know {because I'm forever posting about how psychotic The Bean and/or Long Island is}, B is a third year medical student. A lot of the other entries spoke about "medical-ese" so I thought I'd share a moment of my own.



Earlier in the week, we were on the train to Manhattan with B's parents. B and I were sitting in two seats next to each other. I stared wistfully out the window until B turned to me. He stared at me intensely, looked right into my eyes said:

"Your sclera is blue."

"No. It isn't! Wait, what's a sclera?"

'The whites of your eyes. They're blue. You probably have osteogenesis imperfecta." 

"What?" 

"It makes your sclera blue." 

Nice. 

I'm turning into a smurf.
 
Later, B decided I might also have myopia. To which I replied:

"What? No. I see fine close up. Sometimes I can't see far away"

Which is exactly what myopia is.

I tried to take a picture of it, but it's kind of hard to take a picture of your smurf eyeballs.

And I do not have osteogenesis imperfecta.

And B has been in medical school so long he no longer speaks English.

And I'm usually pretty good with words. 



Medical Monday is an opportunity for any and all medical/med life blogs to link up and meet others. So join us!
