I HOPE that's photoshopped, otherwise that paintball got him SQUARE in the right eyeball... Stupid or not, I don't wish losing an eye on him! A whole lot of pain as reminder that he's a grade-A imbecile, maybe... and I DO hope his equally "challenged" buddy has to have several surgeries to remove that paintball gun from his rectum...

While ^^^ was worthy of a Darwin Award, it led to this video VVV from an ophthalmic surgeon giving a lecture on eye injuries. It's not funny and not especially motivational, but is a highly-engaging lecture.





I actually found myself watching all 30 minutes and learning a lot. Very worth watching, especially if you have kids or are a first responder who may have to deal with eye trauma. Motivates me to wear my shooting glasses... I tried to find a similar lecture from a breast implant surgeon -- for those who like a slightly more titillating educational experience. But no joy. Sorry.

Cheers,

Sirhr

We had an optometrist in our unit when we deployed to Iraq. He was constantly on folks to wear their glasses.
All it took was seeing a few people coming in to see him with embedded debris in their eyes (mostly mechanics), to get the message.
Now when I work on a vehicle, or gunsmithing, they are on.

Of all things, I lost an eye to a fishing accident about 15 years ago, I was hit with a sinker. I work in construction and constantly bitch to people about wearing safety glasses, you never know when something stupid is going to happen.

I'll bet neither one of them ever had a kidney stone.

I actually had a nurse helping me when I had kidney stones and equated the pain to child birth and she said she had kidney stones and a child and kidney stones were far more painful than child birth. People handle pain differently but if a woman tells me stones hurt worse than child birth, I'll take her word for it.

I had the exact same thing told to me for the exact same reason. By the nurses, as well. Thing is, when the female ambulance attendants also told me the same thing, when they were transferring me to another hospital (during a blizzard, and required an ambulance exchange) they didn't tell me about (or compare it with) all the OTHER escapades, tests, and anesthetic failures that hurt far worse than the actual stones. It's a long tortuous story, but that other hospital is where they had to put me back together again, surgically.

So, ya'll want some "motivation", do ya?

DRINK WATER,,,, ALL DAY. Don't forget to have at least some sort of water intake each day. You don't need to be drinking constantly, but you do need to remain hydrated. Torture stories from hell, in areas you don't want to think about let alone have strangers handle and/or deface. THAT should motivate you at least a little bit. Well, for most of you. Heh Heh Heh.....

Yep, been there done that, and they show up every few months. Some worse than others. On my first experience I was sitting in radiology at a local hospital waiting for a CT Scan. After complaining to the nurses enough they finally listened, just about the time I collapsed. They stuffed me in a wheel chair and off to the ER I went. Two different nurses, both female told me the same thing, they'd had both and felt like the kidney stones were worse.
