Sue: This medication I’m taking is messing with my vision. Everything is blurry.
Hamed: That’s a good reason for you to stay home from work today.
Sue: I can’t. I have to give a presentation this afternoon and I can’t flake out on my coworkers.
Hamed: What good are you to them if you’re blind as a bat?
Sue: Everybody else will have crystal clear vision, so all I have to do is to put in an appearance. Things may not be as sharp as I’d like them to be, but I can still make out people and objects – as long as they’re really big.
Hamed: I don’t think your coworkers are going to want you to blindside them today with your strange behavior. You’re going to do more harm than good.
Sue: I can see well enough. I only see double if I move my head like this. Whoa…
Hamed: At this point, I don’t care if you have X-ray vision. That medication is affecting more than your vision. It’s impairing your better judgment!
