Well, to be fair to her, I'm sure there is about a zero percent chance that you're risking your life getting elective eye surgery. I've never heard any stories of anybody dying from it. I'm also not convinced that the SMILE procedure is what caused her to take her life either. Humans are complicated things.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that any negative effects she had after the operation were just the final straw.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I agree with Signy. There are parts to you that are your definition of 'who you are'. I've never in my life had much of a sense of smell or taste. And I wore glasses from first or second grade. My hearing used to be phenomenal but I lost it so gradually and so early that I just laugh about being deaf. But the one constant sign of health was my low blood pressure. Then one day - overnight - it skyrocketed to stroke territory and I've been struggling even with medication to keep it down. That truly rocked me. To my core I felt vulnerable and unsafe, because I was.

But there may be some other side effect to 'smile' they don't know about yet. Here's an example: I was looking into turbinate (nose) surgery to relieve my constantly stuffed up nose. And I ran across a rare side effect called 'empty nose syndrome'. It's SO VERY distressing to the people who have it many commit suicide (at least one after murdering their surgeon). It apparently FEELS like your nose is constantly, unrelievedly, completely stuffed up even though, mechanically, you can breathe just fine.

(I thought about that and realized that even though we're not aware of it on a conscious level, we can actually feel air moving through our nose as we breathe. Generally when they do turbinate surgery they work on the lowest one of three because it's the biggest and the furthest away from your olfactory organ and your cribiform plate, which separates your brain from your nasal cavity. Anyway, when they open up the lowest turbinate completely, since the air is flowing smoothly through - laminar instead of turbulent - you can't sense the flow since air isn't impinging on any tissues. OTOH since your upper two turbinates are still swollen, you can feel the pressure. So it feels like your nose is stuffed up and no air is going through. The answer might be to have people suck menthol lozenges, since the menthol causes a cooling feeling as the air goes by. That might help people FEEL that they're breathing.)

So tell me, would YOU wanna be locked in a room listening to what YOU say....over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER?

Empathy is something you can use with most people ONCE, you used that card up EONS ago. GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AND FIND A LIFE, ANYTHING BUT SIT AROUND AND WHINE ABOUT YOURSELF AD NAUSEUM.

Your opinion on other people's medical health is NULL. You haven't an IOTA of useful information on the subject but still think everyone should listen to you?? YOU VAIN FREAKING IDIOT.

I wore contacts at 12 and if I didn't have dry eye I'd STILL BE WEARING THEM.

BTW, Hubby had Lasik years ago and it was the best thing he's ever done. Doesn't have to keep buying $300 prescription safety glasses for work. Doesn't have skin breakouts from metal touching his face.

AGAIN, if you don't know anything about a subject...SHUT IT... "WHITE SAVIOR"

I misunderstood your tone.

Vain.


Although, she was an on-air TV meteorologist.
Glasses mess with lighting on-camera, studio lighting and camera lighting create glare. Working with Green Screen makes this much more difficult. Even hair style selection is critical, let alone something as obtrusive as glasses.
In a world where a woman is already being marginalized for age appearance and weight, such vanities translate to real socio-economic impact, a major blown to her work, her career, her future, her life.

HERE WE GO AGAIN.

Whoa is me for my life is sooo hard. WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.
She's picking on me. WAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

She put this troll in its place.

As for the OP, it's terrible. While 1/2 kidding w/ my comments, I'm trying to make a point, that folks need to step back and look at their health more than just their image.

There's a local news contributor, not a full time anchor, but still, on air regularly, who has the absolute thickest glasses on t.v. Don't know what her deal is, if it's choice or she literally has no other options, but there she is, still on air, still working, doing a fine job...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Look, something relevant!


Know what ISN'T???



"I can relate. I already had a problem with drinking when I was told that I was going to lose most of my teeth. Up until that point it had been managable though. I was able to go to work and get stuff done on my house. After I found that out it spiraled out of control almost overnight and I nearly killed myself with it.

It's still not easy to deal with from the practicality standpoint, and I have some legitimate concerns about whether or not dentures will even be feasible with the extensive damage that has been done, but there's a lot to be said about going through the stages and finally making your way to acceptance.

Life goes on.

It's a shame that her daughter wasn't enough for her to pull through it until she got to that point. I don't know if I'd still be here if it weren't for my niece. Maybe one day if I make the most of my 2nd chance I'll let her know what she did for me when she's old enough to really understand. "





>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Six's post has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOPIC. It's just more "me-ism" that he rails about the "SJW" for doing.

Yanno, attention whoring??

But why couldn't she wait? A 30 page suicide letter note sounds more like frustration than depression. I wonder if she had a bad reaction to anesthesia, or maybe it screwed up her vision in such a way as to create a neurological problem.

It was over 10 years ago when my BP suddenly went nuts. If I've ever consumed Sucralose it was many decades ago in diet soda. But I never drank a lot of it, maybe 3 or 5 cans a week.

I know people whose blood goes off the charts within hours of taking only 1 spoonful of cough syrup containing Sucralose. Another whose 4-year old daughter got High Blood Pressure and Juvenile Diabetes, reversed after 1 month of abstaining. Another had to cancel 4 surgeries after abstaining, including brain surgery.

Well then, unless it came in something else, then I've never had Sucralose. I only sometimes drank diet cola but then I swore off any diet soda somewhere between 20 and 30 years ago.
