kelpdiver 2 #76 August 8, 2005 Quotei guess one of MY pet peeves is condescention from the medical field. fortunately, i have very few dealings with that type of attitude because i DO my research and know what questions to ask. Some of her posts seemed very conservative. Not sure I read any as condescending. So in response I suggested we think about the rate, as well as the severity of the bad outcomes. (So where does the original poster stand, now?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(So where does the original poster stand, now?) Well, arlo and I seem to agree on it. I appreciate Peregrinrose trying to make sure people see all angles, but her tone could be a lot better; as I said in my earlier post, this thread is not the first time she has come across this way. "When one person tells you that you stink, it may be their nose; when several people tell you, it may well be time to take a shower." Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

'Tone' is tough to interpret via this kind of forum. I'm sorry if it came across that way, but don't be so quick to judge me either.

tustinr 1 #82 August 10, 2005 From a different perspective. I am a medical specialist myself and opted to have LASIK app 4 yrs ago now (of course I did the necessary research and spoke to a mate who also happened to be the opthalmologist who did the op). I skydived within 2 weeks of having the op - used an Oxygene full face helmet. No problems. I haven't looked back since the op - best decision I have ever made. I am over 40 and started wearing reading glasses last year - not sure if i is related to the op or just age related. No matter, small price to pay for not having to wear eye glasses or contact lenses while skydiving, rafting, cycling, canoeing, horse riding .....

tustinr 1 #84 August 10, 2005 Oh yeah, I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the op. Time marches on !
