I am truly sorry what happened to your partner. I guess you live in a place without a lot of scams, fake friendly direct sales or doggy medical practices. I hope your partner has been mentally recovered from the bad experience, and no longer blame herself for trusting the wrong people. Your partner is not at fault; the dishonest consultant and incompetent doctor are.

Once I got robbed by a kid, who gained my trust chatting with me and then snatch and run with my iPad. The cop who responded stopped me the second I started with the "Can't believe I am an idiot" and said "No, the guy had a plan to rob you, he carried it out, you made a judgement call about him and you were wrong. It happens to everyone but you have to keep making judgements about people, most of who aren't trying to rob you". He really made me feel better about the crime.

And remember: this is their job, they do this, and think about how to do this, all day long. It's not your job to evaluate sketchy recommendations, it's something you'll be called upon to do just a few times in your life. So it's no surprise, and should cause you no self-blame, that you as an amateur was outfoxed by professionals. Anyone can fall for a scam. Accept that you had a bad experience and understanding how the scam is done. Firstly, you won’t be lied or tricked in this way again because you know what to look out for, and secondly you can be a valuable asset to society by helping other.

 

Thanks for sharing this, I don't want hooded eyelids. but why can't they just operate on one eyelid to match the other one?
