MAURO GIA SAMONTE
WHEN I walked into the Catanduanes Eye Center on the morning of April 24 and saw a couple of men at the packed waiting area wearing bandages over their eyes, I thought that was how I would look when I got out of the place after my own operation scheduled for that day. Dr. Joselito C. Urgel did explain to me that an incision would be made on my eye for replacing its lens heavily dimmed by cataract. An incision of a body’s component wherever it is certainly means a cut which draws out blood, and I feel I have this affliction with haematophobia which makes me cringe at the sight of blood oozing out of human flesh.
