    Anyone have lasik eye surgery done?

    I remember several recent stories, that the difference between doctors who are the most experienced and doctors who are the least experienced doing it, was a 10-fold difference in complications (something like 99.5% success vs. 95%).

    Is this for real????

    USA and Canada? small maybe but unlikely. USA and Mexico? You got to be kidding. Puerto Rico is already a financial drain. The last thing we need, is to add 100 million people under the poverty line to our budget. What we need, is an impenetrable fortress on the Mexican border, spit out...
