Answer: yes

Sudden blindness (total or near-total vision loss) in one eye is a medical emergency. In many instances, you have a short window of time for diagnosis and treatment to avoid permanent blindness. Temporary loss of vision may also be a warning sign of a serious problem, such as stroke

Explanation:

According to Scientific American.org, "Consider the case of a man known as GY. Damage to his visual cortex resulted in complete blindness in one half of the visual field. He could not consciously see anything, not even a spot of light, shown to him in that region. Yet when asked to reach out and touch the spot, he could do so accurately; he could touch a spot he couldn’t see! It seems downright spooky, but, as you will soon learn, we can explain—at least partially—his condition, known as blindsight, in terms of the multiple specialized anatomical pathways devoted to vision that we mentioned earlier. [For more on blindsight, see 'Subconscious Sight,' by Susana Martinez-Conde; Scientific American Mind, April/May 2008.]"

Yes, because the occipital lobe controls vision, not the eyes. So, the eyes can have no problems and a person can be blind if they have serious damage to their occipital lobe.

What is global cuisine and what does it have to do with cultural globalization?
lawyer [7]
Gradually, came sushi and karate from Japan, and delicatessens from Italy and Germany, and 18 speed bikes from several European countries. Chinese food cooked and served by Chinese Canadians, not all of it authentic Cantonese or Szechuan or whatever, got steadily more popular as I grew up. And pizza. And espresso coffee. And holopchi from Ukraine and pyrogies from Poland. French perfumes. Mexican leather goods. Smorgasbords. All of these were virtually unknown to me when I was in grade 1, but were common by the time I was in university. I could go on and on. Other countries are going through similar experiences, some more slowly that Canada has, some actually a bit faster.

Then there are the subtler things, the ways of thinking and living. Yoga, tai-chi, zen, existentialism, deconstructionism, post-modernism, Marxism, supply side economics and on and on.

This world is a globalized one now, and it has been getting gradually more and more so for a long time. There is no going back. We learn to live together on Starship Earth or we exterminate ourselves.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The correct answer is; Battery.

Further Explanation:

If the patient does not want you to touch them then it is classified as a battery offense. Anyone has the right to refuse treatment unless it is a lifesaving measure.

The patient has the right to call police or ask for police to be called. Always ask a patient before touching them if it is okay to do a procedure such as taking vital signs. It is a misdemeanor and you can be jailed or issued a citation to appear before a judge.
