Seriously, don't click if you're squeamish about eyes, or ants, or hospitals...

It would be extremely spoileristic to tell you.

Here?s what I don?t understand? and what makes the story either bollocks or *even more horrible*: As anyone who?s experienced an ant related horror (such as leaving out a can of coke and having it fill up with ants) will know, Ants aren?t like maggots, you don?t get a single ant sneaking in and laying a bunch of ant-eggs that turn into ants?and it?s not like she?s have an ants nest in her eye, so in order for the story to work she?s have to have a big long trail of ants going back and forth from her eye under the bandages  to their nest, carrying little pieces of eye?

I thought this was a reference to Darkie's Mob and its well-rounded asian characters's war cries once a giant bald Burmese/Japanese gentleman shows up with his parental issues.
I wouldn't be so smug, though - once Tony's sold off the NHS piecemeal, wild dogs will be roaming the corridors of hospitals looking for fresh eye-meat.  Laugh while you can, suckers.
