  25. That lady would have had a " driver assessment form " that her ' doctor ' would have filled out . So if she was that BAD why did that doctor pass her as competent to drive ? . I knew an old lady 79 who crashed her car ' slightly ' . Resulting in ' loss of licence ! BUT If her doctor had done better work , she would NOT have lost her ' sight ' in her left eye . They did save her right eye though . SO, the doctors Do get complacent , AND Today my daughter came with the ' wife & I ', to make certain we get the best of treatment. A bit embarrassing all the same . spacesailor
