OCTOBER: BODY ODDITIES
Instead of a case this month I have a number of questions regarding odd medical observations. Interstingly most have something to do with the eye. Please share your own body oddities with your colleagues. Just submit a “comment” below or at the end of the answer page. For the answer page, click the link below.
Question 1: Using your ophthalmoscope you notice that not only is the exam amazingly easy, but that the retina is a beautiful patchwork of blues and greens with red arteries and a white optic disc. What condition does your patient have?
Question 2: How can you see the arterial ramifications of your own retina?
Question 3: How can you use your hands alone to see clearly underwater, as if you had a mask?

I tried looking in my dog’s eyes with the ophthalmascope. WAY COOL.
