Here I am going on about the video projector, without giving thanks to the men who made it possible for me to appreciate it. Dr. Mark Hughes and Dr. Brad Shingleton.
I am indebted to Dr. Hughes in particular. My admiration and appreciation of him are without limit. Hughes saved the vision in my left eye, after a retinal detachment eight years ago. I still see him every six to eight months, and he will most likely be performing a procedure on my right eye this year.
Before Hughes, a doctor in Worcester, Massachusetts botched a surgery to repair the detached retina. Immediately after the surgery I knew it hadn’t worked, yet he sent me home. A week later I found Dr. Hughes through my boss, whose wife worked at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
