Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I told you yesterday I had an eye doctor's
appointment which went great, no change. My eyes are as
good as ever. I still have to wear contacts, but
they didn't get worse.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And you told us all of this because we did
have so many follow up questions about your appointment.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So thank you for answering those. Will you look something
up please? So there is something called K the letter
K period pneumonia, pneumonia P N E U M O
N I A E. What does that say?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
It is a type of bacteria that can cause pneumonia,
U T I S and other infections.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay, now.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
It can also live in dirt.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I look up lowercase HV capital KP. KP is k newmonea. Yeah,
HV KP. What is that say?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Supervirulent KP A dangerous strain of bacteria that causes severe infections,
often in healthy people.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It spreads easily, causing absesses, meningitis and eye infections. Oh, so,
making it a serious public health concern because it can
do so rapidly.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So I learned about this at the I doctor. I
was reading some literature while I was waiting. I always
like to be early for doctor Miller anyway, so I'm
there and I see this thing and I'm reading about it,
and I'd never heard of it, and I don't have it.
Let me stress that. But apparently they say that this
(01:52):
hv KP is like whatever that k new Monaia is
on steroid, Like this thing will tear through your body.
You don't want the eye infection version. The look at me,
the like holding a photo up.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
No no, no, no, no, he's pointing to his bloodshot eye.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No no, but look here, like you know how you
have here. I'll show it to both of you, so
you know how, like the white parts of your eye
go all the way around the colored circles of your eye.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
I don't know what that's called the iris.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yep, imagine the white parts of your eye and a
little bit of the of the iris starts to get infected. Okay,
but it doesn't just get red. It almost takes the
white part and the iris part what is the black
part in the middle. Pupil, thank you, the the everything.
(02:46):
But the pupil gets infected to the point where it
starts to get like jello.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh, like Kelly Clarkson's diet.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
The no that yes, but she is on the jellet
and it's what you claim. Absolutely, So before it got
really bad, that's what the person's eye look like. Oh god,
so that that's before it got bad, that gets gelatinous
and it starts to come out of the eye the
(03:18):
lib Yeah, well, thank you, but that's not when it's
that's what it ends up as. Can you see? Oh god,
what's wrong?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Oh it's like it's it's it's like mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, no, it's look at you, look at here, and
that's in black and white too.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It comes out of your eye. It turns like, I
don't even know what do you call that. It looks
like you're the white part of your eye is is.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Gooey, but like it like it's it's almost like it's melting.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But it's like dripping out of the eye socket.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
But it's not actually though, right, it's still somewhat contained.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, you can't wipe that away. No, no, no no.
In this guy's case, they just took the whole eye.
How Ever, however they did, they had to remove her.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
To the end of the story.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay, but yeah, so it's still connected. Yes, you can't
just wipe it away. It's not a tear, but it's
almost it's almost like they boiled your eye and it
just started to get like thick and gooey. You know
what it looks like to recall something condensed soup coming
out of your eye.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It is thick. Yes, God, wait where I see the article?
Where's the photo?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh, there's a there's a link that you. Oh they

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Oh god, it's working color.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It is I expected that time. God, this is like
apricot color. Here and see how it's melting and coming
out over.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The It's awful. What happened to the iris? Is that all?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Pupil?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
No, that's part of the iris. Oh okay, go to
the next one. I gotta click on that one. Click
on that link.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I'm looking for the picture. All right, what is that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Dish? No? No, no, So here's how they tell it.
You have this? Oh god, k p O MG. People
you got to see this. I know, I know, I
know you can't see it if you have Channel one.
The camera is right on it. If not, Tyler will
post it. Show me, show me, No, that's somebody's. You
(05:39):
can't wipe that away.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
If you do, you're wiping away your eye.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
It looks like you can take the whole eye, to
take the whole you know what it looks like.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Please, Diane, please minimize that.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I can't. I was at the doctor's office. See it
looks like it looks like it looks like your eye
is like lava and it's coming out of the socket.
That's somebody's that's real, that's coming out of you. Do
not want You do not want HVKP. You don't want that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
When they checked your blood pressure, was that before or
after you saw it?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I'd already seen that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
No, I was relaxed because I know I wasn't getting HVKP.
Oh my goodness. Let me tell you this though, So
Diane mentioned the Petri dish. Well, use your your blackboard.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I liked how you were teaching us about the picture.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So you know what they do. So can you please? No, no, no,
I can't because I need this. People are looking at it,
so right here, can you tell? Can you tell, Diane? Diane,
can you tell by looking at it that it might
be a little bit gooey it's sticky. Can you can.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
You tell that this is inflamed?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, But do you see what I'm saying? Does that
look gooey to you? I'm asking you a real question.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yes, it does fairy much?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So do you have it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Pulled up on your computer? Because you're not looking at it?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I'm not. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So what they do is they scrape off some of
the goo and they put it in. They put it
in a Petrie dish, and then they take like a
it's not a needle but essentially a needle, and they
stick it in and they raise it and if that
goo stretches more than five centimeters, that's how they diagnose
you with hvkp oh.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
The Petrie dish is telling me it's bad.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I had no idea. I had no idea.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I was hopeful for a better outcome.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I thought I would be at three centimeters, but I'm
at five. Okay, so it's bad. They had it. Did
this guy's eye out?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
People?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You have to see this. I can't stress to you enough.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know what, I didn't even notice the headline of
the article. I was just searching some of the terms
that you said, and the click the headline says, this
may be the grossest I pick ever.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I believe it's funny. I saw that headline and that's
why I clicked on it. Could you imagine having that?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I can't imagine. My god, Ugh, I can't imagine, like
the beginning of it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
How do you go to work?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
You don't and you are not on camera on a
zoom meeting?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Or are you like Macron yesterday?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I got it by aviators. Once they realized there was
no chance of him recovering sight in the eye given
what appeared to be a worsening situation, doctors removed his eye.
He was on an intense antibiotic regiment for nine more months.
(08:37):
By then, imaging confirmed that some other abscesses like he
had lung nodules and stuff. So, I mean he recovered well,
but it started in his system. Like Diane said, it
just starts in your system.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Next thing you know, it's just random bacteria fast tracked.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Right to the eye. Isn't that crazy? People? You got
to see it click on the links exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And there are people saying that I didn't post it. No,
I posted the article.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Oh there's a leak in the body of the article.
You have to click on it. It trots me. I
may have misled you in the past. You want to
click on this.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Don't let your boss print out the picture in black
and white to show you look at it in color.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Oh. Absolutely, I gotta go to line one real quick.
Hi elliot in the morning. Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's this Jessica? Yes,
what can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
I'm an alt psomic technician. I'm a nurse for an
eye doctor.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Oh yes, And I wanted to say that it looks goofy,
but you can't wipe it because it's probably under that
really thin layer, the thin layer of skin on your eye,
So all that puss is under that skin of your eyeball.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know what. I'm glad you clarified that.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Thank you for fueling my nightmare.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
The worst thing I ever saw though in person, was
somebody unfortunately with the late stages of AIDS, and they
had such a bad eye infection that the pupil was
completely white because the whole eyeball was filled with us
and the only thing we could do.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Was drain the eyeball, not in rent.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It was really bad.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Oh, and then there was a man that decided to
go golfing with with sunglasses that were made of actual
glass and the shad off the tree. You can shade
off the tree, broke his glasses, sharded up his eye.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Underwear. I did very good. Thank you doctor, Thank you
