This caused something to come to mind. When I last got new lenses for  
my glasses a few months ago the optometrist at Lenscrafters said I had  
a slight infection in one eye. He started to fill out a prescription  
for medicine to cure it. I don't recall what triggered it, but I  
mentioned that I carry no health insurance. He immediately tore up the  
prescription. He said keep calling my receptionist and ask if the  
medicine samples have been dropped off by the pharma company  
salesperson. I did that and within the week I had a free sample.
