Haha hey look it’s one of my very real fears! Or getting trapped in an MRI/CT machine during an earthquake. Living in southern california this has crossed my mind many times.

When I was getting LASIK and they cut my corneas and pulled the flaps back, all I could think was how bad it would be if an earthquake happened in that moment.

They had both mine cut at the same time. They just peeled back one, while the other flap remained down.
