Unsolicited medical cure health advice (self.Blind)
submitted by HalfBlindAndCurious
I no I'm not the only one this has happened to on here because blind people are a magnet for this sort of thing but I'm too chilled out and happy-go-lucky to ever get angry at stuff like this. I somehow held myself together long enough to get on the bus before erupting in laughter.
I was stopped in the street here in Scotland earlier today by a random Indian man who told me he had the cure for my eye condition. He was certain it would work because it's natural medicine and that always worked. Apparently all I need to do is rub my eyes with an onion.

So my blindness isn’t actually from my eyes (it’s from my brain where vision is processed). I have an aunt that in her will, she has left me her eyes.
Yes, I inherit her actual eyeballs. I don’t know I’m supposed to do with them 😂😂
Coincidentally, my grandfather thought I was pretending to be blind for years until he died because a doctor once said while he was there that there was nothing actually wrong with my eyes.

WTF that's gruesomely hilarious. What the hell are you meant to do with them? Play tennis?

I’m supposed to get them transplanted into my body 😂😂😂
But if I actually get them, I would legit keep them in a jar 😂 that would be hilarious

> rub my eyes with an onion
Did you cry from laughing, or just the onion.

The onion. I was assured of a cure after all and who wouldn't try that.

Family/friends: You've become a lot more emotional lately... Is everything OK?
HalfBlindAndCurious: Crap, the damn onions!

Crying with ecstasy because a man finally encountered me and gave me his miracle cure which was onions and not ecstasy.

You should try it, you never know. Then try a jalapeño.

I suppose there's only one way to find out.

An onion?! Oh my god! hHA ha ha! I haven't heard that one before, but I've been offered all sorts of crazy cures that can't regrow a retina. I love it when people tell me to eat more carrots.
Sausalito94965 3 points 3y ago
Yes, this. And I’m actually allergic to carrots (have been since I was a child) 🥕

If people have radical new insight like this, I need to be accosted in the street more often.

At least this was a multi layered solution.

I don't know how many times I heard "can't you just get stronger glasses?" when I was younger. Like... maybe I could strap the Hubble telescope to my face or something, but barring that....

Oh haha that made me laugh 😆
Sausalito94965 1 points 3y ago
...And then they get offended that you don’t take their suggestion seriously! Ha!
HalfBlindAndCurious [OP] 1 points 3y ago
That would never work. Onions are obviously superior to the Hubble Space Telescope.
codeplaysleep 1 points 3y ago
Plus you can more easily tie it to your belt....

We should just skip ahead and replace our eyes with onions
Sausalito94965 2 points 3y ago
Mmm, yes! The little cocktail onions soaked in vermouth might work wonders! 😉 🍸

The problem would be if I couldn't see out of the onions and had to rub them against some eyes. I think it's the combination which helps induce the miracle.
