Sue:  This medication I’m taking is messing with my vision.  Everything is blurry.  

Hamed:  That’s a good reason for you to stay home from work today.  

Sue:  I can’t.  I have to give a presentation this afternoon and I can’t flake out on my coworkers.

Hamed:  What good are you to them if you’re blind as a bat?  

Sue:  Everybody else will have crystal clear vision, so all I have to do is to put in an appearance.  Things may not be as sharp as I’d like them to be, but I can still make out people and objects – as long as they’re really big.

Hamed:  I don’t think your coworkers are going to want you to blindside them today with your strange behavior.  You’re going to do more harm than good.

Sue:  I can see well enough.  I only see double if I move my head like this.  Whoa…

Hamed:  At this point, I don’t care if you have X-ray vision.  That medication is affecting more than your vision.  It’s impairing your better judgment!
