• Needing a pep talk.

• I'm a 51 year old pediatrician and resigned from my clinic position (last day is 10/6/07), because of vision trouble. My working diagnosis is cone-rod dystrophy, although the retina doctor says my case is atypical because my central vision is good. I have alot of trouble seeing contrasts (rashes is the clinic) and the light outside has gotten to be a real problem. I just feel sad because I already miss seeing patients, and after 26 years, I was just getting good at it. :) I'll be teaching the first and second year med students in a seminar class, so I'll get to use my doctor skills--but it'll be different. I'm requesting kind words. Thanks so much.
