Once I had an eye tumor that was really starting to bother me (think agitation and pain), so I scheduled a session with an eye specialist who deals in these matters. After about a five month wait I finally got in. I was nervous, but also stoked that this was finally going to change, hopefully for the better. This guy was like the top two expert in Peel County, Ontario (home to over 1.5 million people today). So basically his job was to penetrate the tumor and discharge the matter. Dude wouldn't do it! I said do it. After a long talk he prepared to do it. His equipment was top notch, but he was going to do it manually. Basically, insert a syringe needle into my eye and suck the tumor fluid out. You know? Dude's hand with the syringe was shaking!!! I was thinking, crap, there goes my riding career. Long story short: He completed the task. It already felt better. The physical pressure subsided.
A few weeks later the tumor refilled! I said, crap ... okay, let's see dude again. He said he wouldn't do it again. I thought, "Wha?". So I took matters into my own hands and at home I used the sharp end of a safety pin and in the bathroom mirror punctured the eyeball every week until the issue permanently went away. Yeah, sure there was a bit of blood, but the issue has been gone now for about a decade.
Medical pros. Sheesh. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands.
