I have patients try to answer their cellphones when I am examining their eyes.
If they do, I leave the examination room.
I might come back, then again maybe not.
Across the board, cell phones and their gross and frivolous misuse, have ushered in a new level of incivility and a general lack of courtesy that our forebears would have found breathtaking.
Not to mention, incredibly insulting.
Good for you.
