I think you mean an opthalmologist, not an optimologist. There is no such word in the English language in my humble opinion.

You can hardly expect valid responses if you fail to adequately formulate your question in the first place.

Do people generally post rude and belittling responses or was the recent post a hopefully rare instance;
I was hoping to find a source of information without snark,
Thank You for any insights

From him it's not rare. It's his usual. For proof, right click on the user name to see his recent posts.

I apologize for the insensitivity of some people. Just because one is an expat, doesn't necessarily mean they are reasonable. I am not seeing your origianl post but if I remember correctly you were inquiring about glaucoma treatment. Coimbra has one the best opthamological departments in the world. I highly recommend Dr. Murta and his staff at Hospital da Luz. He is the head of the Unidade de Oftalmologia de Coimbra (UOC). I am being treated there for something akin to macular degeneration. They have an incredibly modern facility and I feel the care exceeds what I have experieinced in the US. If you are coming to Portugual and have a pre-existing condition you will want to become an AFPOP member and get an insurance policy with Alianz. They are the only private insurance company that will allow for pre-existing conditions as long as you can show you have been fully covered in the US. I hope this has been of some assistance.

To Bemamdam: What on Earth did you achieve by taking pot shots at someone's - anyone's mistake? I think most could figure it out without the insults. Oh, that we could aspire to someone so perfect as yourself - said no one, ever. We are all here trying to figure things out as best we can and the forum is here to share information, not insults. Good manners and decorum go a long way. Did anyone ever tell you that making a mistake is the doorway to learning?? Let that sink in when you think about the many children, and adults who make mistakes. At no time was insulting the person considered part of the process.

No—most people are indeed helpful and respectful.

There are a few (such as “Bemadam”) who pick fights for no clear reason..

It’s always nice to remember there is a delete button in most mail programs. :)

Best of luck resolving your medical issues!

Great commentary, SNOBLE!

Anyone's "Track Record" is a record of one's mistakes - and how they grew from, and learned from making those mistakes.

Such is everyone's journey.

A mistake is not just "a warning", but also an opportunity to learn, grow, and perhaps to receive constructive help from others.

SNOBLE, your coment has reminded me of the positive aspects of anyone's making any mistake.

After my 1st post's responses, I vowed not to post anything that could be attacked-if the communication would mean something to me personally. Most of the expat postings are insightful even the rude ones. There are alot of intelligent caring people on this site that will post helpful responses. Good luck and take care.
