The patient reported no awareness of any warnings in the operating instructions against ocular use.

You know when you read the warnings page of an instruction booklet and see what appears to be an extremely, unfathomably, utterly dumb thing and say "Come on... who does this? Nobody is that dumb!"

Remember, every warning sign is written because someone tried to do exactly that.

The irony is that the people those warnings are written for, are the same people who would never read them.

The warnings are there because of those people, but not for them. They are for the lawyers.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if we just get rid of all logical warning signs.
