Better than a poke in the eye…
Perhaps you’ve heard the expression “It’s better than a poke in the eye”. I can now tell you from experience that just about anything is.
Since I injured my eye a few days ago, I’ve come to appreciate, again, the many resources available here in the Geneva Lakes area. I was able to go directly to an urgent care enter, approximately 5 minutes from my home, to be seen immediately by a physician specializing in emergency medicine. Located at the intersection of Highways 50 and 67, just north of Williams Bay, Mercy Walworth Hospital and Medical Center has transitioned from an outpatient center, with the attendant specialists, to a licensed hospital facility. It is affiliated with the Mercy Health System which staffs fourteen clinics and two hospitals in southern Wisconsin. The closest facilities in the lakes area are Mercy Delavan Medical Center, Mercy Lake Geneva Medical Center, and Mercy Lakeside Orthapaedics.
Fortunately, my injury was minor (although an eye patch is not my idea of a fashion statement) and I was treated and referred to my ophthalmologist for follow-up. For more information regarding the Mercy Health System, go to www.mercyhealthsystem.org.
And try not to get poked in the eye.
