How is Kathy Griffin doing?
|
|
|
| The last I heard, she was having more surgery on May 24th with Dr.
Kerry Assil to remove epithelial ingrowth from previous lasik
surgeries. Does anyone know how she is doing?

| That is not correct. By her own admission, the LASIK surgery went
perfectly. THEN she decided that since she was getting to the age of
presbyopia that her lasik worked so well that she would have
additional surgery done to achieve monovision as an alternative to
wearing reading glasses. That is where she ran into trouble. She
also very foolishly chose to try and extort money out of Dr. Maloney
rather than get immediate attention for her ingrowth. An ingrowth is
very obvious to the patient and is easily treated if treated promptly.
By delaying the treatment on her ingrowth by going for the money
instead, she may very well wind up with much more of a problem than
she would have otherwise.
Frankly, Kathy Griffin is a publicity whore. There is no reality show
that she will pass up, there is no talk show she will pass up to whine
about her head to toe surgeries (rather than doing her comedy act).
She is a victim of her own bad judgement. At least she isn't having
20 nose jobs, her skin bleached, and giving kids booze and porn to get
their naughty parts tingly.
What Kathy Griffin and MJ really need are psychiatrists... not surgery
nor prisons.

| You have to look at the person who has the grievance. People like
Griffin and Keller did this to themselves and then blame the surgery.

| Sure there is... someone I communicate daily that I recommended LASIK
to is not completely happy with his procedure. He didn't tell me
before his surgery that he was a pilot that flew small planes at
night... and he went for the intralase flap which I didn't recommend.
His vision is fine other than halos, and his halos are slowly
improving over time. He's got about 3 months before his final results
will be realized.
the real problems involved with lasik are so rare and boring that
nobody would pay attention to them. The malcontents grossly
exaggerate and lie to make their tales of woe "interesting".

| Not everyone is an idiot. For instance amongst practitioners, I would
say that you and one other optometrist that posted a few messages
years ago, stand out as being far more incompetent than anybody else.
It's all relative.

| And how do we define incompetence Clifford?
How is it you are the arbiter of incompetence? Is there some expertise
you have in the area?

| Ragnar 2005-06-22, 5:53 pm |
| A search for messages by a CatmanX yields a great example of what
incompetence is.
Anyone can make a mistake once, it takes someone genuinely incompetent
to make the same mistake over and over and over and over again like
you do.

reading comprehension.

Actually, it's ironic. I had been trying for years to get the guy to
have LASIK done. He was very reluctant. It wasn't until he looked
over your website that he decide that the malcontent people are so
full of it that the propaganda you spread is nothing but meaningless
babble. If anything, you were the deciding factor to have lasik done.
By the way, you obviously know nothing about being a pilot either.
Flying by looking out the window is extremely dangerous as JFK Jr.
found out. Flying by instrument panels is how its done. They are far
more precise and reliable than staring out into space out the window.
You must have been thinking of Orville and Wilbur Wright.
Furthermore, it might interest some people to know that the next
generation of military planes are supposed to be without human pilots.
The humans are not able to keep up with the g-forces and handle the
rapid instrumentation reactions.

| The one think I do know is that I don't want to fly on a plane being
flown by a pilot with starbursts and halos. I don't care about how
they fly the plane.

Funny, I've never seen a pilot with starbursts or halos.
Keller here must be onto something new.

passenger cabin such as yourself.
I would suggest if you can't find a real topic to post about, don't
post anything at all. But then again, that would mean you wouldn't
have posted a singel message in the past 3 years.

| I would be far more worried about a pilot with Montezuma's Revenge. I
think it was about 6 years ago that the pilot of an egyptian airliner
went to the restroom and while in there, the co-pilot either
intentionally or unintentionally lost control of the plane and it went
into the ocean. I suppose Keller would prefer a pilot ot have wear
a pair of glasses that could fall off in turbulence or contact lenses
that dried up, got stuck, folded up due to the atmospheric conditions
within the plane.
Everyone makes mistakes once in a while, but it astounds me that some
people such as Keller and Mason are consistently wrong.
I know some people get upset that I am so "mean". But I have yet to
come up with a nice way of pointing out when people are lying,
misleading, or incompetent.

Some ancient wisdom for you:
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Words to live by. You may even make a friend or two if you follow this
advice. Imagine that!
