The doctor of a 28-year-old Vancouver woman who was severely burned Monday night by a stranger who doused her with acid, will perform surgery on her face this afternoon.

Dr. Nick Eshraghi, a burn surgeon for the Oregon Burn Center at Legacy Emanuel Hospital, said that during the approximately 90-minute surgery he will attempt to remove as much damaged skin from Bethany Storro’s face, without doing any further damage.

Storro's condition was upgraded from serious to fair today, hospital officials said.

Storro, who had just moved to Vancouver from Idaho to live with her parents and had just started a new job at the Washhougal Safeway deli, was getting something from the passenger side of her car in downtown Vancouver at around 7:40 p.m. Monday when a woman walked up to her.

“She said, ‘Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?’” Storro's mother, Nancy Neuwelt said. The woman then threw a cup of acid in her face.

This is just the strangest thing. Why would someone do this to a stranger? They don't seem to know each other, so it appears to be random.

[Sinistrous]

1. Has the world gone completely insane? Or are

the crazies just getting more publicity?

2. Two sides to random.

Random acts of kindness, and Random acts of violence.

That was the theme to the movie pay it forward.


Pay it forward.
