Secretaries have, however, not been chosen simply because they’re the most likely candidates after the absolute no-nos and therefore the most likely relative no-nos – which would in fact be nurses. No. Secretaries are different from all the above because you shouldn’t have an affair with them even if nobody will ever find out (oops. It is possible that that’s generally considered true for at least some of the others… but it’s always been my approach that the reason you don’t have an affair with a patient is in case somebody finds out you’re having an affair, and similarly you don’t have an affair with a nurse in case somebody finds out she’s a nurse …). Secretaries are bad news because, once you slip into the traditional boy–girl role-playing: She’ll127 never do any typing for you (even if you dress up).You won’t be able to crack jokes even in the workplace without getting the eye-rolling treatment.Who would you get to pick out her Christmas present?

Likewise, legal nurse consultants should be aware of their own body language and non-verbal cues that might impact the plaintiff’s or defendant’s willingness to speak openly and honestly. Avoid body language such as frowning, scowling, or eye-rolling which can negatively impact the effectiveness of an interviewer and may demonstrate a lack of empathy and respect for the attorney’s client.

Incivility, lateral violence or bullying in nursing practice are behaviors, although unpleasant, that require discussion. A great deal of information is available about these topics in the nursing literature for your review. Observations such as eye-rolling, ignoring requests for information, or other efforts to sabotage student success are examples of inappropriate behavior. A specific example is when a staff member belittles your student in front of a patient or family member, accusing them of not performing care, when in fact, they did. Hopefully you will never encounter incivility, lateral violence, or bullying of your students during the clinical experience.
Australian bus drivers’ perspectives of passenger hostility: A qualitative study

All drivers (100%) reported frequently experiencing acts of passenger incivility, ranging from daily to weekly occurrences. For instance, one driver stated, “… I’ve been bus driving now for 12 years, you would experience that sort of aggression… you see that at least, well on average, five times a week, or one a day at least…” (P23). Common acts of incivility included ignoring the driver, passive aggressive comments, exaggerated eye-rolling, and purposeful staring at one’s watch in response to a bus running late. Drivers (86%) indicated that abuse occurs weekly to monthly, with passengers swearing at them, threatening them, and using derogatory language and gestures. Acts of more serious hostility occurred less frequently, although reports varied widely. Some drivers (28%) described being physically assaulted, for instance: “I had someone sniffing a substance and I had passengers approach me because they were nauseous and almost vomiting, and I pulled over and they all got off the bus. And I’ve gone up to this person, female, and I said to her, ‘you can’t do that on my bus,’ and she got up to leave the bus and as she stepped off the bus, she picked up a rock and… hit me in the head with it. I suffered a concussion from it” (P29).

An 8-month-old girl presented for concerns of poor eye-opening and eye-rolling`. Her father had ophthalmic surgery as a child but was a poor historian as to his condition. The patient displayed bilateral ptosis and lack of light perception. An exam under anaesthesia showed microcornea (OD > OS), shallow anterior chamber OD, a persistent pupillary membrane with posterior synechiae (OD > OS) associated with a lenticular polar opacity, moderate cortical cataract, and dense posterior plaque OD, inferonasal cataract with lens and iris coloboma OS. Anterior segment anomalies precluded funduscopy in the right eye. The left eye had no discernible nerve head or foveal reflex in a milieu of retinal atrophy, prominent choroidal vasculature, and chorioretinal coloboma inferiorly (Figure 1f). A-/B-scan showed microphthalmia OD and absence of optic nerve shadow OU. There was no evidence of persistent fetal vasculature. Unfortunately, the patient never returned for follow up.
About the rolling of the eye around the line of sight
Published in Strabismus, 2019
Although I was of the opinion that we were not at liberty to roll our eyes around the line of sight in the interest of single vision, within certain limits I thought it was “conceivable that we, by increasing the innervation of the upper or lower obliques, could arbitrarily increase or decrease the divergence of the vertical meridians” and that the deviations from Listing’s law in near vision “are due to balanced innervation of the two lower obliques, which a seeing person habitually employs in the interest of clear vision. I was of the opinion that a natural necessity, recurring daily and in the same direction, could very well, especially in youth, bring about something that, in later age, would not be possible under the temporary, artificial conditions of an experiment. So by no means, as Nagel seems to believe (Archiv für Ophthalmologie, 14 (2): 228), have I spoken out against the possibility of the eye rolling around the line of sight.
