"Unfortunately, even having state-sponsored do not call lists won't help."
I can attest that in the state of Indiana, the state-sponsored do not call list DOES help. I got on the list that went into force on July 1 this year. Since that time, calls have trailed off significantly. Sure, you still get calls from "exempt" (for whatever reason) groups, but many of the aluminum siding and lawn-care calls have stopped.
My suggestion is that anyone who calls your house should be required by law to show up with name and number on caller ID. If I randomly started calling people and bothering them at home, I'm sure they could file harassment charges against me. What's the difference when the same phone company keeps calling you back week after week trying to get you to switch to their service?
My wife had this procedure approximately 3 years ago and she swears by it.
She had worn glasses since the age of several-months old and had a bad astigmatism in one eye. We made the decision to have the surgery because her doctor estimated she might have become legally blind in one eye within 5 years at the rate her eyesight was deteriorating.
To make a long story short, the eyesight in her "bad" eye improved beyond what the doctors had predicted going into the surgery. She has minor "night vision" and "halo" issues, but these are no worse than when she used to wear glasses and only seem to occur when she's tired or fatigued.
There's always a risk of complications with any medical procedure, but there are so many of these being done, the percentage of complications is very minimal.
The most important thing we did is find a doctor who is experienced performing the procedure. Our doctor's office provided a packet of 20+ pages immediately upon request. This packed documented his academic and professional credits, including documentation of over 10,000 procedures preformed. Sure, there are many doctors performing this procedure...find one who is experienced.
It's a great deal these days......I've seen it advertised for under $2000.00 for both eyes. We paid over $4600.00, and insurance wouldn't have anything to do with it. They considered it "cosmetic" regardless of the doctor's claims of eventual eyesight loss. Insurance companies may have changed their stance these days, considering how widespread the procedure has become.
Sure, they may be former programmers prior to their "induction" into the world of management, but once they're in management, they have to answer to the rest of upper management. This complicates the issue because upper management is based on deadlines/dollars, regardless of what technology is being used. They've never worked on these types of projects/products/technologies and don't have any idea of how even the best "project plan" can be set back a week or two (or more) depending on what technical/RD issues come up during product development.
