with a unilateral dilated/unresponsive pupil and blurry vision. The primary team wanted me to help rule out stroke or other serious neuro issue even though she had already undergone extensive neuro imaging before I got there, probably costing at least $10k.

I reviewed her meds and noticed the patch. Turns out she had touched it and then rubbed her eye on that side. The patient was really relieved to know it wasn’t serious, although I’m sure she felt less relieved once she saw the medical bills.
