ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. — An Upstate woman was flown to a hospital after witnesses say she used her hands to gouge out her eyeballs.
Elizabeth Hiott was working inside South Main Chapel and Mercy Center when she heard someone yelling for her to call 911.
"It was across the street, and I could see blood, and could hear her screaming, and I realized something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong," Hiott said. "I immediately called 911 and it almost felt like the 911 dispatcher didn't even believe me. That's how crazy it was."
Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride said it took two or three deputies and two emergency medical workers to subdue the woman to start rendering aid.
Eventually the woman was put on a stretcher and loaded into a medical helicopter.
Hiott said she'd seen the woman in some church services before and at some meals served there, but said the woman didn't regularly come to the church.
A debriefing was held at the church to help those who witnessed what happened cope with what was seen.
"Prayer and community and family is what's going to get us through this," Hiott said.
The woman is in stable condition and on a respirator in the intensive care unit at Greenville Memorial.
I think that’s the one where the optometrist put some kind of delayed action acid in his eye drops.
I like his movies.
He was a good actor...
Yes.
Prayers up.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for. thee that one of thy members should perish, and. not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
Was she staring at Hillary?
Yes. He was great at playing a wide range of rolls.
She saw Jeff Sessions working?
Hindsight is 20/20, but I’m sure she will one day see how shortsighted this was.
What was that movie starring Ray Milland where he dug his eyeballs out at the end while attending a revival???
The Man With The X-ray Eyes.
Did you really need to post this thread? Dagnabbit!!!! I’m trying to pluck up the courage to have bilateral cataract surgery soon. Going blind ain’t pretty, but my sister has had the surgery and her experiences terrify me. Wore contact lenses for a week and freaked out.
Was that one of those snake handling churches?
Sometimes a literal interpretation of the Bible can be... bothersome.
Some people forget Jesus was a Jew, and Jews have a penchant for hyperbole.
LOL, bad Disambiguator...bad.
****Yes. He was great at playing a wide range of rolls****
The one roll he most wanted to play escaped him though... the Kaiser roll.
Yet it is not news when similarly deranged people undergo surgery to pretend to change their sex.
Was she a Clemson fan?
There is only one place she can work at after this. Popeyes.
If it’s a county hospital they may only be able to afford to replace hers with wooden eyes.
