I don´t trust the doctors these days much anymore since a lot of them give you symptom-controlling medication, and not something which goes to the real root cause of the problem and heal it! I rely instead on alternative medicine, such as Homeopathic medicines which type of medicine I have used for over 7 years now after first seeing one such doctor in 1997 who incidentally was an American doctor travelling in Europe. So there you have it - the reason why I didn´t go to "the Doctor" first! I don´t want their drugs, I want REAL medicine. And at the time of the seizure, or whatever you call it, I didn´t know what alternative doctor to consult, and had only a limited time to exchange the DS to something which DIDN´T give me such terrible experiences. So I decided that until I had found an explanation, I would return the DS, play something else meanwhile, and probably buy it again if I found out that the cause of the nasty experience was something else than the DS screens. And I will see an alternative doctor shortly, after taking some time to find the right one. The first mentioned doctor has vanished, and I don´t know when I will see him again. If ever.
And to those of you who would like to label me braindead or worse: try to control your language, OK? I definitely do not take the EB Games staff for medicial experts, but more as very kind people with a great customer service not found anywhere else in my city, and people one can go to in order to ask what to do with a machine one suspects being the cause of severe bodily malfunction.
Besides, the EB Games staff adviced me to do away with it, NOT me! So, wiseguys who are so quick to judge and so late to ask proper questions first, I am NOT dumb, but more likely a person who is understandably in the habit of panicking when I lose my eyesight on one eye temporarily because of playing for several hours on a portable videogame console and next nearly fainting in the middle of a train ride!! Like somebody tearing the solid ground away from under your feet, and leaving you to drown in a sea of emptiness! One heck of a nasty experience, and then it´s NOT nice to be labelled a complete idiot afterwards! Tsk, some people are just too fanboyish!
When pre-playing a Sony PSP, I didn´t feel like that at all. The screen on that console is much bigger and wide too. So maybe I will have to be content with that until Nintendo gives us a handheld with a bigger screen. I really do think that the size of the screens on the DS plays a part here. I really feel that I have been trying to be loyal to Nintendo over the years, buying almost everything they ever marketed. But I think I will go Sony in this case, although I will definitely feel inclined at one point to own a DS again, for the simple reason of the outstanding games coming out on it right now. I am just not going to have that nasty experience ever again. That much is sure. So we´ll see what the doctor says.
