Mirror O Mirror On The Floor, Come Closer To Look At My Face!

ASK THE REASON FOR THE CHOICE: Who/What Chooses Anesthesia Type: Procedure, Patient, Provider, Proceduralist, Place, Phase, Payer, Player? It's Just Time
My opinion: There is always an ego which is the cooperative nuance evolving from the negotiation between the all-survivalist id and the all-altruist superego [1].

Googles Eye Shield & Evaporative Dry Eye
My opinion: Evaporative dry eye and aqueous tear-deficient dry eye are the two major sub-types of dry eye1.
