Going to the Dr. w/LSH-P

Last weekend I had a sore throat. Now I've had lots of sore throats in my life and usually, just by looking at it, I can tell if it's just a "one day" thing or if it's something that looks like it might need drugs. Anyway, I take a look w/ my LSH-P, and overall the throat looks fine, but I notice this white spot, sort of like a canker sore on my tonsil. I think to myself, jeez I never saw this before. I get on the Internet and see what I can find out. Well, everything from nothing to tonsil cancer. So I go to the doctor (hey what is insurance for?) He takes a look with his little light and tells me he doesn't really see anything. I pull out my arc, hand it to him and tell him to look again. "oh, now I see!". He tells me it's probably nothing, but to be sure I should see an ENT (Ear/nose/throat) specialist. I just returned from there. Believe or not, this guy also used my Arc, even asked if it was a, dare I say, "Maglite". I told him Maglites are junk. When I told him what the Arc cost, he was kind of stunned and mumbled something about malpractice insurance being to high and he can't afford it. I did tell him to check out Arc's website though. Good news is: the throat is nothing to be concerned about!

Well, guess this was ok see`s how these doc`s were ENT specialist...but if you have eye trouble...well...I hope you leave your little light at home.

"follow the light" yea right...now I`m blind. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif

We have had several doctors tell us the color of the LSH makes it easier to correctly and quickly diagnose a patient.

I don't know about anybody else, but I am all for them using the right tool when diagnosing me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the post Chris.

I'm a med student who is very appreciative of the whiteness of the Spec. Ed. LSH-P Fraen LP that I received.

You don't always need or want a bright light, but when you do, I love my ARC.

As a matter of fact next week Wednesday I am presenting my own doc with a Super LGI, for exactly those purposes (of course I'll tell him to keep using the ol' dim yellow one for the eye exams...)

I hope he's not a "proctologist"! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ask your healthcare professional about the full spectrum of Arc brand lights. When taken under supervision of a healthcare provider, studies show a major reduction in anxiety and depression as well as the ability to see in dark places.

Side effects may include floating spots, dependence on Arc lights/inability to function without EDC, a light feeling in the wallet and excess saliva production when a new model line is introduced.

And coming next year, the all new extra strength LS4 and LS5. Your only over the counter dark reliever.

The color rendition is quite excellent with the LSH-P. What some doctors use are actually quite expensive penlights. My doctors have used a brass Welch-Alllyn with the halogen bulb. The bulbs are designed for color rendition over brightness.

I had one for a short time that was just screaming to be modified, but I sold it to buy an LSH. Go figure...

Glad to see postings on the ARC board with alot more humor than the past 10 days

Hi *@*,

I read an interesting article recently .. some hospitals are going to switch the halogen lamps in the OP rooms to LEDs (probably Luxeon Star based devices).

Reason: Halogen bulbs produce heat which desiccates tissue during the surgery - an undesired effect that isn't caused by LEDs!

Go with the flownosaj here, take two ARC AA's & call me in the morning... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif
