but perhaps just sensitive about your recent experience and worried about other people's reaction to it. I would feel *exactly* the same way.

There's no way to know for certain, but I kind of doubt that they found out about your psych. day program. Most doctors offices are just too busy to do that kind of research into new patients--especially in that short of time span. They want info about meds and medical conditions so they don't make mistakes in prescribing medications and so that they're aware of certain symptoms or side effects they may not be able to explain.

I think you have it right when you said her phone call could have been about anything--possibly about another patient's surprising test result or even a personal matter. She might have even been in some kind of time crunch after that call and didn't give you the time you deserved to talk about your condition.

You could go for a second opinion and have the second doctor request the test results from the first doctor so that the tests don't have to be repeated. I do think it's a good sign that the tests didn't show a retinal tear or anything abnormal, but that doesn't mean your concerns shouldn't be taken seriously.

I hope your eye returns to normal soon and I wish you well.
