The surgery I was lucky. Brint was an excellent patient and played his role perfectly. People ask if I was nervous, and yes, I was. I operated on my mother and father a few years ago, though, and everything is a little easier now when I compare the pressure to that. I have learned to stick to my normal routine with VIP patients as much as possible.
Special deviations are often ill-advised.
For example, I always have patients spell their last names, so I can check them against the chart, which is being held in front of me as I enter it into the computer. It is a double-check of the system. The surgery went well. We used the new Chiron microkeratome, which worked perfectly. Brint fixated like a rock.
