Eight Years ago I started in Ophthalmology, and 9/11/2001 was a day the eyes will never forget.I remember it well, being 2000 miles away the effect of such a disaster was felt all across America. Pt's that came in were weeping, in shock, in fear, and angered. I'll never forget the panic in each pt's face. Most of the day was not checking eye's for disease, yet it was about comforting the American's and reminding them who we are, and how we got here.
