I have seen a number of posts for Leica shooters using Left eye.
It is doable but takes some getting used to. A camera with a centered
view finder, such as my Zony, I would have little problem switching
to the Left eye. My nose might interfere with accessing the some of
the buttons on the back, but not too bad.
I also just checked my GX9 and I don't see any issue with using my
left eye on that camera even though the EVF is on the left.
It makes me angry when the medical profession seems to think they
can be dictators with little recourse for patient's. It is a systemic
issue where resources and accountability are lacking.
And I don't know how much comes from the insurance industry.
I won't go into the horror stories of my friend, whose daughter had
leukemia, and little control she had once her daughter was in the
system. (she said they were outright evil - her words.)
I sincerely hope Peter can get proper resolution and treatment.
