'''Scotch tape''' is the treatment of choice for dropping lids of unknown etiology when the patient refuses surgery.
''From "The House of God"''

''The Next LOL in NAD was seventy-five, [[L'Chaimlich Maneuver|Jewish]], and came in with her upper eyelids '''Scotch-taped''' to her forehead. Reading her old [[EHR|chart]], I found out that this was a case of "drooping lids of unknown etiology'' and that her previous Clinic tern had TURFED her to Ophthalmology, where the resident had told her to "tape them up or I operate" and she'd chosen the tape and had been [[Turf|TURFED]] back to Medicine. This was a [[Bounce Back|BOUNCE]].''
''"Oh, I love meeting all you nice young doctors," she said."
''"How long have you had this tape on your lids?"''
''"Eight years. How much longer do I have to wear it?"''
''"What happens when you take it off?"''
''"My eyelids fall down."''
''I wrote her a prescription for more tape.''
