Question 4
As you hand the athlete her referral paperwork and provide her directions to the physician's office, she asks, "Why do I have to go to the doctor?" How should you respond?
"I am concerned that you may have sustained an injury to an important structure within your eye called the retina, and we need to get it evaluated by an ophthalmologist."
"You may have an injury inside your eye. I'm sure it will be fine, but we need to let the doctor look at it anyway."
"We're referring you because it's our policy for all eye injuries. Don't worry. The doctor is a big fan. I know he won't keep you out."
"Based on my evaluation, you demonstrated decreased peripheral vision, floaters, halos, and blurred vision. I suspect you have sustained a retinal detachment. This injury requires referral to an ophthalmologist to rule out additional ocular involvement and evaluate for possible surgical repair."
