Chapter 22 - The Nightblindness Man

Dr. GibeHug: Good evening, Mr. Tanaka! How can I assist you today?

Mr. Tanaka: Hello, Dr. GibeHug. I seem to have trouble seeing in the dark. It's getting worse every day.

Dr. GibeHug: Ah, Mr. Tanaka, the night is your nemesis, huh? You must be thrilled about never being able to find your way around the house without bumping into things!

Mr. Tanaka: It's not really fun, to be honest. I'm constantly afraid of tripping over something.

Dr. GibeHug: Well, you know what they say, Mr. Tanaka, life is just an obstacle course, and you're playing on expert mode!

Mr. Tanaka: I understand you're being sarcastic, but it would be helpful if you could provide some advice or treatment options.

Dr. GibeHug: Of course, Mr. Tanaka. There are a few things we can try. Have you considered investing in a pair of night vision goggles or perhaps hiring a personal bodyguard to tackle those pesky furniture corners?

Mr. Tanaka: That sounds a bit extreme. Isn't there a simpler solution?

Dr. GibeHug: Oh, absolutely! You could always hire a team of glow-in-the-dark elves to light your path. Just make sure they don't blind you with their radiance!

Mr. Tanaka: Dr. GibeHug, I appreciate your humor, but I'm really looking for practical advice here.

Dr. GibeHug: Alright, alright, I'll put my sarcasm aside for a moment. Nightblindness can be caused by various factors, so we should explore possible underlying issues. Have you had any recent changes in your medication?

Mr. Tanaka: Yes, I recently started taking some new allergy medication. Could that be the cause?

Dr. GibeHug: Ah, the plot thickens! Allergy medication turning you into Dracula, afraid of the dark? That's one theory we could look into.

Mr. Tanaka: Seriously, doctor?

Dr. GibeHug: Don't worry, Mr. Tanaka; I'm just pulling your leg. It's definitely worth discussing your medication with your primary care physician to rule out any potential side effects. In the meantime, have you tried using nightlights or getting enough Vitamin A in your diet?

Mr. Tanaka: No, I haven't considered those options. I'll give them a try. Thank you, Dr. GibeHug.

Dr. GibeHug: You're welcome, Mr. Tanaka. And remember, even in the darkest of nights, your sense of humor can be your guiding light! Feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns.

Mr. Tanaka: Thank you, doctor. I appreciate your help and your unique sense of humor.

Dr. GibeHug: It's been a pleasure, Mr. Tanaka. Stay bright, even if your nights remain dark!

[A few days later]

Dr. GibeHug: Ah, Mr. Tanaka, back again, I see! How are things in the land of perpetual darkness?

Mr. Tanaka: Well, Dr. GibeHug, I did try using nightlights and increasing my Vitamin A intake, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Any other brilliant suggestions?

Dr. GibeHug: Ah, Mr. Tanaka, the night is a tough enemy to conquer. Perhaps you should consider embracing the darkness and becoming a superhero with the power of nightblindness!

Mr. Tanaka: That's not exactly what I had in mind, doctor. Isn't there anything else we can do?

Dr. GibeHug: Alright, alright, no need to get your cape in a twist. Let's brainstorm some more practical solutions, shall we? Have you considered talking to an optometrist about specialized glasses or lenses that can enhance your vision in low light conditions?

Mr. Tanaka: That's actually a great suggestion, Dr. GibeHug. I haven't thought about that. I'll make an appointment right away.

Dr. GibeHug: Excellent! Optometrists have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, like magical lenses that can turn even the darkest of nights into a well-lit walk in the park. Just don't ask them for X-ray vision or they might give you a funny look!

Mr. Tanaka: I'll keep that in mind, Dr. GibeHug. Thank you for your help and for making me smile despite my condition.

Dr. GibeHug: It's my pleasure, Mr. Tanaka. Laughter is the best medicine, after all. And who knows, with the right pair of glasses, you might just become the world's first superhero with nightblindness!

Mr. Tanaka: Haha, that would be something, wouldn't it? Thanks again, Dr. GibeHug. I'll let you know how the appointment goes.

Dr. GibeHug: Please do, Mr. Tanaka. Remember, in the darkest of nights, there's always a glimmer of hope. Stay positive and stay awesomely nightblind!

Mr. Tanaka: Will do, Dr. GibeHug. Take care and keep spreading your unique brand of humor.

Dr. GibeHug: Thank you, thank you. Now go and become the superhero of the darkness. Just don't say I'm Batman's cousin "Truce Wayne".
