Freddy and Izzy

Freddy had decided to do his time quietly only after fruitlessly fighting in court for well over three years to try and get the judges to see that he was in fact, completely innocent and that his patient, who had signed the required release of liability form, had come to him with only one good eye and had left with only one good eye. What did he lose? Though the judges generally sympathised with him they always came around to the point that Freddy regretted had happened and probably would carry that regret with him to the grave. Why had he not followed the World College of Physicians and Surgeons’ guidelines in using the updated release of liability forms and patient consent forms BEFORE performing the experimental procedure on the supposedly consenting patient who was by virtue of his signature on the old forms, already had released the doctor from any liability? The judge saw it as a contravention of the guidelines and also a criminal offense of mal practise and handed down a ten year sentence for Dr. Everett Fredric Malcon the ninth.

Fredric Malcon got out of prison and was thankful that his wife had decided to stick with him, for better or for worse. They had survived the ordeal of mal practise. They had somehow kept together for the past ten years through Fredric’s incarceration. As for the one-eyed technician, he finally took the advice of his drinking buddies and gone to see a psychiatrist regarding his tendencies, where upon he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Enough to scare the shit out of any human being, it did. He had to clean his underwear back at home after he stopped shaking. The doctor prescribed the lasted pills, “these do a really good job at controlling the imbalance…” and with that the one-eyed technician became officially “a psycho…”, to his drinking buddies. This news got back to Fredric and his wife and they weren’t too thrilled at hearing it. But decided to take the higher road and just let the past stay in the past. On the other hand it added to their feeling that now, the earth in its entirety held no real interest for them anymore. The lazic procedure could be preformed by any entrepreneur with the means to purchase the highly successful and now mass-marketed worldwide, Cornia’s Razor, a controversial yet popular lazer-radial-carratotomy machine for the mere sum of W§2000.00. (worldollars). Entrepreneurs world wide were vying for a piece of the eye-pie. Those with the means were quickly cashing in on vision enhancement, and why not. Vision enhancement was rated the highest and quickest ROI business after Lunar Real Estate investment by Millenium II Fortune magazine in their January 2021 edition. Not surprisingly, it soon was an industry overtaken by franchisers. Of particular note, for their particularly aggressive expansion – an explosion of 30, 000 vision enhancement centres worldwide in three months –CEEMOR KLEERLY!

The earth market for vision enhancement, especially throughout the Middle East and Africa regions, was seriously undercut by the franchisers ability to mass market and offer the same product at a far lower price than any independent Vision Enhancement centre business would be able to offer the procedure for and it was therefore virtually impossible to profitably run a vision enhancement centre as an independent. Either pay the franchise fees or get out of the market altogether. Malcon’s mal practise conviction and subsequent jail time, coupled with the market flooding that had occurred, brought a sudden and definite end to that part of the malcons’ dream of having their own business that was personally rewarding, allowing them to help people, and allowing them to make a good profit at the same time. Under the circs, Izzy just couldn’t keep the business running on her own and on top of it all, her husband had been in jail for ten years, at the mercy of a slightly crazy one-eyed technician’s mal-practise lawyer.
However, they were not destitute by any means, Izzy had gotten §999, 999.00 world dollars for their condominium / Vision Enhancement Centre overlooking Caribou street in the Rocky Mountain resort town of Banff Alberta, Canada. It was now under the lean and keen ownership of a Chinese entrepreneur and franchiser - CEEMOR KLEERLY! Vision Enhancement Centres. We have Cornias Razor machine!
