I can confirm that we do indeed do it "old school" in South Carolina.

I just had an interesting conversation with the driver of one of our patients. 
It seems she was a former employee of a medical group in S.C. and told me that 
her doctors did a lot of these "IVP dye tests". I quizzed her as to whether or 
not it was an internal med practice. "No" she informed me it was ophthalmology. 
I explained to her that FA isn't, and hasn't ever been an IVP dye. She insisted 
that they used IVP dye in "South Carolina, because they do it old school 
there". My goodness. I tried in vain to explain the difference but alas, it was 
to no avail.

Happy happy Monday!
