In 30 years of regular contact with eye specialists, I've only met one who had poor social skills. He was the first specialist I saw and it was at a crisis time for my eyes. He was one of the old school - told me I'd be disabled and partially sighted within 10 years, turned on his heel and walked out. I drove home weeping but since then, every specialist I've seen has been as highly skilled as he is, but also had great person skills. So far as I know, none have morphed into psychopathic mass murderers.
