Yeah, docs aren't always on the leading edge. I wouldn't be, either, if I worked 70-hour weeks taking care of patients.

A while ago I went to my eye doc, one of the best in Houston, for help with dry eyes after LASIK surgery. After we'd exhausted most treatments with no improvement, he said:

"Michael, I've got one more idea. It's gonna sound crazy. Have you ever heard of 'fish oil' supplements?"

"Uhhh... yeah. I've been taking at least 5 daily grams of combined EPA/DHA for more than two years."

"Oh. Nevermind then."
