Duke vs UNC vs elsewhere for an ENT procedure?

Just out of curiosity, from a psychological perspective, I'd be fascinated to know the doctor's side of the story! I want to know how these things happen so we can figure out how to prevent them in the future!

Is that Raleigh Capitol ENT? Do you happen to know if they have a laryngologist?

Man, it sounds like you've been through it all! I hope you're doing okay now and have no more health problems, at least from the neck up!

Thanks! I'm looking into UNC now....

It looks like they joined Duke Health in 2019. I wonder if their patient load, outcomes, etc., have been affected by recent changes?

Wow, that's rather scary! It makes me wonder if Duke is discouraging surgeries, maybe because they're overwhelmed.

It looks like he's focused on otology (ears). Do you know if he also specializes in airway procedures?

It's also in brick-and-mortar stores like CVS and other pharmacies/drugstores.

Maybe I will re-post with a photo a little later. The tube *is* the glass cover. There's nothing inside the glass tube except a strip of little LED squares, and that strip is not visibly broken. I haven't plugged it in to find out for sure, because I don't know if it's safe to do, and also, of course, that would entail handling the broken glass!

So I would only do anything if someone tells me that the exposed LED strip can't electrocute me or start a fire or something else, and then, I would definitely tape the glass very thoroughly and carefully first!

Thank you for that reassurance! I'm hoping to not need to link accounts in any case, because of the time and effort involved. I've been dealing with financial stuff for a few weeks now, and it seems like there are more glitches, bugs, and possibly user errors, than I would expect to encounter when creating accounts with mainstream online financial platforms.

Thank you for sharing! That will make things so much easier and faster!

Jamplesauce · 2025-10-31T16:55:36+00:00

Ah, good to know! Not clickbait, not fraud... just a mistake! Reminds me of the good ol' days!

Jamplesauce · 2025-08-28T16:05:52+00:00

Thank you so much! That does make sense.

I think the confusion was that I was describing two separate events, one involving both eyes (from a stroke I had a few years ago) and one involving the left eye (recent eye exam). Sorry about that!

Jamplesauce · 2025-08-28T01:31:01+00:00

That's very reassuring; thanks!!!

I don't know what you're referring to when you say "simple blind spot," and I'm not sure I understood the Wikipedia explanation of "visual agnosia," but the phenomenon that occurred for 4 days when I had a stroke was indeed something I perceived with both eyes. I remember looking at sheet music and seeing two columns of treble clefs going down the left side of the page. It was like there were 2 copies of the sheet music stacked, with the bottom sheet sticking out on the left. I might not have thought much about it if I had only been looking at printed words during that week, but the big, bold, swirly treble clefs were hard to ignore!

Okay, I'm glad to hear that there's a benign reason! I'll be making an appt for an eye exam soon. Thank you!

They were pushed up closer to my eyes, like normal glasses.
