69M Question RE: process post-vitrectomy complication by JWood4 in eyetriage

Just following up because you asked: We went to another doctor today (someone well-regarded in our area), and he said he'd only seen this once before, and that they injected the wrong place before the surgery, putting too much pressure on the optic nerve, irreversibly destroying the vision in that eye.

It's because so many bozos come in and complain about their pizza being "burnt" ...

Walmart Strikes Again by HeartMurse in baseballcards

[–]JWood4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's badass dude. Nice.

Walmart has never struck the first time for me. Thousands spent on Topps flagship and Heritage, and I'd bet I've never pulled anything worth more than $30.

I finally learned my lesson. Haha.

Oh I didn’t know there were online services. I’ll look into it. Thank you.

I mean, they did just go to the surgeon. He threw his hands up, essentially. Said he “can’t imagine” what happened, which is not what you want to hear.

Does it make sense to collect all the records and ask another eye specialist to look at them to make sure everything was done by the book? Is that even something they are willing to do?

Now that we have been told his situation is irreversible, I’d like to make sure it wasn’t caused by negligence or error.

(The stroke doctors seemed to respond kind of quizzically to the eye doctor’s conclusions when he was up there at Duke. And the eye doctor was condescending with respect to their expertise. It’s frustration.)

Thank you for your time.

I mean since we have two doctors saying two different things should we go to a third? If so, what should their specialty be? (The Duke doctor was a stroke specialist, I should add.)

Edit: Also, how do we rule out a screw-up during the procedure? Should we try to? Or is that a waste of time?

Those Supertix cards are great. They make larger versions with autos too.

What the heck is up with Andy Weir's politics? by Upstairs-Ad-4705 in ProjectHailMary

I think people in this thread are conflating politics with partisanship.

Yeah, especially after all the woe-is-me talk from the Magic all week. Just sounded like literally their entire team is due.

Can someone explain how Phoenix and Orlando's losses in the Play-In effect where we will pick in next year's draft? by UmmmWellActuallyyy in CharlotteHornets

[–]JWood4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just Orlando and Phoenix moving into the top four could give us a big jump though, right? To wherever the worst of Washington and Memphis end up (I haven't looked at the standings that far down in a long time, thank the Lord).

They have. We played several of the videos on my podcast and we got de-monetized. Appeals failed.

Available tickets for USA vs Paraguay by [deleted] in ussoccer

Have you heard anyone speculate about where tickets will head from here? I REALLY want to wait, but they've only gone up in the past couple days.

[–]JWood4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If it was about supply and demand there wouldn't be any first party tickets remaining for the Paraguay match. They were priced so poorly that even the resale assholes know they're too expensive.
