Part of this analysis happens while the patient is waiting? Yes, they sit there and think, “They’ve forgotten about me,” but meanwhile one or two employees are working only on them. Then the doctor comes and they start to think, “Sigizmund came after me and has already left, but I’m still here for some reason.” … Continue reading WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG? (the long-expected part 2)

Today, we have an atypical topic of conversation – why must we wait at the doctor’s office? First, we wait in a common room. Then we’re assigned to another, they quickly do something, and again we wait and wait and wait. Now, Arthur Benjamin will lift the veil of secrecy. Let’s look at a … Continue reading WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG?
View MoreAmong the general population, there’s a popular opinion that the constant wearing of glasses can exacerbate already-poor eyesight. Is there any truth to this?

Almost every day, we read that another gene has been discovered. I wonder what gene is responsible for the discovery of other genes.

In 1969, at the peak of modernity (well, at that time), a perfectly-preserved body was found in a Greenland ice floe. A boat carrying liquid glycerin had collided with the ice floe in 1905, and as a results a … Continue reading Freezing: How to Wake Up (2)

What is life made of? I killed a good half-hour looking for an illustration for cryogenic clinics, or more precisely, factories… or perhaps “plantations”, but I didn’t find any. Even thirty minutes here and there can accumulate into half a lifetime gone, so maybe I should finally ask to be frozen and then thawed later, … Continue reading Freezing: How to Wake Up

Usually they resort to infrared rays, which penetrate even the most difficult cataracts, but it often doesn’t help. Sometimes they use a more clumsy system, like ultrasound, but making calculations by echo or reflected sound … Continue reading Eyes: The Art of Choosing the Right Office (part 2)

I once decided to try some on, and there was no question – they were all very small. It turns out that we’ve grown a lot … Continue reading Have you gotten smarter over the last 20 years?
View MoreIf you're thinking about LASIK surgery, don't even look further. Dr. Benjamin is the absolute best!! Couldn't be happier with his services.
Dr. Benjamin was so friendly that I can't wait until my next appointment! I DEFINITELY recommend him to anybody looking for a great ophthalmologist!
