Three days after the visit to the famous Doheny Eye Clinic, Jo
Beth woke up blind in her left eye.  

She made her way back to the sympathetic island doctor, who
seemed absolutely disgusted with the famous clinic.   This
time, she referred Jo Beth to an  80-year-old ophthalmologist
on Wilshire Boulevard.  He immediately diagnosed ocular
herpes.  He referred Jo Beth to a specialist at the famous
Cedars Sinai, who treated her successfully.  Jo Beth was left
with one little scar on her cornea, which faded away over the
next few years.  

Jo Beth found out that ocular herpes is the leading cause of
blindness in young adults. (She'd never even heard of it--had
you?)  Over the next few years, she got it twice more.
