THOUGHTS
I recently went to Moorfields Eye Hospital for some tests. After decades of vision impairment, I realised that up until now most of the neuro-ophthalmologists that I’ve encountered have been men. Recently I’ve seen more women, and they are asking new and different questions, including ones I asked years ago that male doctors dismissed. I recognised the difference in treatment while waiting at this bus stop.
