Keep an Eye on George


March is an important basketball month. It reminds me of a story told to me by a patient, George, in Colorado.

George was playing in a spirited bb game in Canada. On jumping for a rebound he was cuffed on the side of the head and one of his eyeballs popped out of the socket, hanging by the meat.

Fortunately there was an eye doctor in the house who rushed out to his car and brought back a small bag which he opened and removed a spoon-like instrument. George told the doctor that he had vision but "things looked a little funny".

With the spoon the eye was quickly moved back into the socket. After some massaging, the eye seemed to function properly and George returned to the bench.

After a few minutes the coach sent George back into the game and said, NOW REBOUND !!!
