Edit:
Just to clarify, this wasn't called Scissor Doctor. I just thought my original thread title was too long.
Hey, so I briefly mentioned this memory in my random things I remember thread, but I think it deserves its own post. Around 2006, I used to frequent Borders bookstore a lot, and would basically consume anything manga. One time I remember seeing in a compilation book of sorts, a short series of panels depicting a kid having a nightmare about either his eyes missing, or his eyes being cut out. He abruptly wakes up to realize it was all a dream, only for the reveal to be he's in a hospital bed and the doctor sitting next to him has a pair of scissors. I always found this short story to be quite creepy, and I quickly moved on after reading it.
Where I might have seen it:
I mentioned this in the aforementioned random thread, but one year for Christmas my mom got me a Japanese pop art book. I'm going to say this was also in 2006. It had a lot of anime influenced art, but also very strange pieces of work as well. Notably, a severely obese woman with her baby illustrated in a 2000s digital coloring style. The manga panels might have been in this book, but I am unsure. Like I said, I used to just go through whatever I found in the manga section at Borders.
I'm going to assume it was by a horror mangaka. Here's a video that discusses a lot of different horror manga authors. Who knows, could be one of these people. It's spooky season so let's see if we can find this!
