I had LASIK back in March of 2000 at age 27. It held for about 12 years so I figured that was a good run. My eyes changed slightly as I grew older so I went in for an enhancement. The doc went in under the SAME INCISION that was made back in 2000. Amazing. So the good news is that I didn’t have to have that machine…

Meh, I figure Herr Trump would be too busy chasing Mexican rapists (!) to worry too much about weed. Besides, in all seriousnes, further legalization would stick it to traffickers across the border who profit from prohibition.

This is important information that people need to know. It's also something that could change dramatically after an election.

No, they don't have the resources to go after individuals. However, when President Trump decides to enforce the law because weed is for losers, the FBI could shut down any medical or recreational dispensaries and growers overnight.

I do whenever i greet my patients and give them an overview of how they can expect their surgery to proceed. A good laser technician assisting the surgeon should also explain this and fire the laser a few times before you go under it so you get used to the sound as its quite loud.

A law is only as powerful as it’s execution, so far as I know they aren’t prosecuting people solely for marijuana possession in the legal states. They could use it to nail you if they needed a reason to hem you up for something else they couldn’t prove of course.

I try to when I greet and scan patients, and a good laser technician (who assists the surgeon) should also explain this when you go into theatre as well when they describe the noise of the laser and the proceedure.

That’s what the valium helps with. lol. The WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON NOW moments. I did not give a single shit if he popped out my eyeballs and tossed them around.

Yep, which also makes it problematic for any government job that requires drug testing.

The smell ISN’T your eye -it’s the smell of the 3 gases used by the laser, usually oxygen, helium and a premix. The laser is cold and generates very little to no heat so its really hard to burn something with it. I’m a surgery manager for a Laser Eye Surgery clinic and this is one of the most common misconceptions…

I noticed that as well. It didn’t really bother me, I just thought, “Welp, that’s my eye burning. No turning back now!”

I’m so glad that a friend warned me beforehand about the smell of burning because I think it would have freaked me out otherwise.

I smelled it... and was on valium, so I thought it was kinda cool.

Haha! Yes, I’m sure the Internet will consider the context of the picture and calmly move on.

This was a well measured and thoughtful response to an insensitive but well meaning gesture. I’m sure the rest of Gawker will act the same way.

It’s nice to see his manager pissed on his behalf.

Was it called fowl?

Or nah.

I feel so weird when the NFL does something right for a change.
