This was done so as not to alarm patients and possible decline the
photography medical test. In the early years, many medical choices were
not consumer friendly; certainly, black box warnings were rare. The myth
has lasted and still happens 50 years later, only now you doctor's need
to be informed that by not being pro active, they being setup for a
lawsuit if something goes wrong.
Even after pointing this out to Midwest Eye Institute it still happens.
If a doctor decides that they don't want to or cannot see the possible
outcome; that is their choice. Then it becomes a choice on the
employee's part to decide if this is an issue which could preclude their
employment.

July is here and so are the new residents! During a lecture/discussion
about fluorescein sodium yesterday, we discussed how fluorescein sodium
is a synthetic dye and NOT a vegetable dye. One of them had already
read/heard it was a vegetable dye. He asked if there were ever
ingredients in the dye that were vegetable based and if that is why this
rumor exists. Does anybody know why some people refer to it as a
vegetable dye?
Thanks!
