Daughter Of Maat

I’m a curious person by nature, and I have a plethora of interests to prove it. I love reading, but not run-of-the-mill novels. My idea of a little “light” reading is a medical physiology or microbiology text book. I love reading anything informative, especially when it relates to science, medicine, or the occult. 

I, recently, became a stay-at-home-mom after leaving my 16 year career in ophthalmology. It’s still a bit of a sore subject for me. I didn’t really want to take a sabbatical, but I was fed up with the corruption and the lack of integrity. I disliked being treated like a second class citizen by a rich doctor with a god complex. That type of environment led to burnout rather quickly. I do miss ophthalmology; I enjoyed having very specialized skills and teaching others everything I knew. I specialized in cornea, cataracts, glaucoma, ocular pharmacology and retina. I could determine if a patient had a loss of peripheral vision just by the way they looked around, and I could spot a misalignment of the eyes without testing for it. Ophthalmology was intuitive for me. Old habits die hard. The first thing I notice on anyone I meet is their eyes, now. I catch myself looking at the alignment instead of remembering the person’s name.

I attended college for a short time before dropping out and going into ophthalmology. I attended Stetson University here in Central Florida. My major was Biology with a double minor in English and Philosophy. I still intend to go back, although, that’s probably years away. 



I’ve always enjoyed writing, unless it was for a midterm. I can’t write under pressure. But I do enjoy writing about things I’ve learned. That’s the topic of the majority of my hubs, everything I have studied in the past ten years. I share my knowledge in the hopes of opening someone’s mind, anyone. 



I have some other hobbies that vie for my attention. I enjoy scrapbooking, crocheting, knitting, video gaming (especially via the Kinect with my husband and our daughter), reading, and trying to learn as much as I can. Knowledge is power.
