The first thing that struck me is how happy I am that you are not my doctor with your attitude. WOW you have the very arrogant attitude that I mentioned.

I realize she admitted she put on too much eye cream, but the resulting swelling of her eyes sounds like a scary symptom to me- one that needs to be checked out ASAP, the eyes are not something I would want to wait before getting medical attention.

Many illnesses and injuries are caused by the patient not following directions- so they shouldn’t seek medical attention if they may have caused the problem? If a man uses a power tool in a way he shouldn’t and causes great injury then he shouldn’t go to the ER, because it was his fault to begin with?

I think if patients didn’t go to doctors for anything they caused- doctors might starve- between bad judgement, avoidable accidents, and poor or risky lifestyle- much of what happens to people could be their fault in one way or another.

I do see a large group of people that fill ERs with common colds, flu, and other minor illnesses- and I don’t think they belong there, and they should know they don’t belong there- but to say someone with eye swelling shouldn’t get checked at the ER- no matter what caused it is amazing.

Actually you know nothing about me....but I respect your feelings.

It wasn't swelling of her eyes. It was the eyelids. Great difference. There you go again.

I never exactly said that, did I?

Okay......obviously we can't have a conversation. I can think of many things to say here...But let's just end this here.

Thanks
