Wow. It's Bright.

I received an ask today. It was thought-provoking. Here it is, and my answer.
I enjoyed reading “Ash and Phoenix” but I have one comment. I’ve noticed this in other stories as well so here goes. When Kurt and Blaine are together you mention that Blaine has foreskin. Given his age, and the fact that he was born in the USA, it is highly unlikely that he would. Almost all doctors who do hospital circumcisions agree that it is much healthier for men to have had this procedure. In this case, it would be a medical, not a religious procedure. FYI.
Thanks for the close reading and taking the time to comment!
I live in the U.S. and I’m a medical writer who specializes in pediatrics, so I’m familiar with this issue. I gave this issue some thought before writing Blaine as having a foreskin, and here’s where I’m coming from:

Headcanon poll: Was “Baby It’s Cold Outside” the first time that Blaine and Kurt sang a together for fun, or was it just the first time the duetting turned into flustered/oblivious sexiness?

Magic In the Making: WHERE'S BRAD? soundingonlyatnightasyousleep:
WHO WAS THAT KID PLAYING THE PIANO.
OMG I DIDN’T NOTICE THIS
“Who’s this?” The coach frowned at Brad. Santana didn’t even blink. This woman was nothing compared to Coach Sue.
“He’s Brad. He’s with me.”
“But, why is he here?”
Santana sighed, and filed her pinky nail as condescendingly as she knew how. “He’s my background music. I needs my background music. I’m a star, and everyone knows that stars have background music.”
She sashayed off. Brad followed her. Together, their glares cut through the crowds like a hot knife through butter. A hot katana. A hot executioner’s blade.
Coach Ash sighed, and rubbed her temples. Why was it always the girls from Lima?
Muahahahaha! Brilliant!

Give me a Glee character, and I shall give you:
1. A song I want them to sing.
2. A storyline I want them to have.
3. A person I want them to have a relationship/friendship with.
4. Something I want for them that others seem to not want (ie. an unpopular opinion).Not-cho-chang asked for Burt Hummel. Why is it behind a cut? I have no idea.
Reblogging this because Not-cho-chang just pointed out to me that tumblr deleted half of what I’d written when I originally posted it. So I fixed that and am reblogging in case any of you are on the edges of your seats.

Did Blaine have a corneal transplant?
OK, so I’ve always assumed that Kurt saying in “Michael” that Blaine had a scratched cornea was a case of misspeaking, since surgery isn’t required for a scratched cornea, and one wouldn’t keep a kid out of school for two weeks.
So I thought it might be a corneal laceration, but today I’m reading up on those and it looks like surgery for corneal laceration would probably have happened sooner rather than later (i.e., Blaine wouldn’t have returned home from the hospital before having the surgery). Surgery may have been delayed if the doctors first tried a healing contact lens or tissue adhesive and those failed to heal the laceration.
And he may have been out of school for longer if he had to travel to a distant city for the procedure (or his parents wanted him to traveled to a distant city for the procedure, because of the reputation of a particular surgeon, for example).
So, yeah, this second scenario is conceivable, but now I’m just curious if maybe he had to have a corneal transplant. I’m in a medical database right now, so I guess I could look corneal transplants up right now, but instead I’ll just throw out this random question to tumblr.
