Since doctor appointments cost actual money, which not every writer has, 'successful' (according to **someone's** standards - what a snooty, elitist response!) or not, let me point you to this excellent resource I found while writing character injuries. From a range of normal reactions to pain, to how fast a person will bleed out without immediate medical intervention: [http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~leiafee/ramblings/realistic\_injuries.htm](http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~leiafee/ramblings/realistic_injuries.htm) I didn't see any specific info on eye injuries (hopefully your EMT cousin can help!) but there's plenty of useful info there. I hope that helps you as much as it helped me. Just remember that **every** writer is successful - by actually writing! And all of us - even the published ones - are 'wannabe' writers. We all started that way, and we never stop wanting to write!
