From the EyeWorld article (in typical EyeWorld LASIK propoganda delivery)
Quote:
Observers who frequently attend FDA proceedings regarded the session as unusual in its emotional character.
If you destroy patient's eyes with no plan B fix and lie to them to top it all off, patient's will have something to say about it.
What surprised me was the arrogance of the LASIK surgeons who presented at the FDA hearing and some who sat on the FDA panel. Were they in the same room with Gerry Dorrian who presented a compelling account of his son Collin who had a bright future, but committed suicide due to his LASIK complications that had no plan B fix? Even if there was only one patient who committed suicide from a totally unnecessary procedure (and there have been others), that alone should have made any physician with a conscience evaluate what is being done.
Instead, it appeared that there was a group of egomaniac LASIK physicians attending the FDA hearing who once again stuck their head in the sand and played the spin game that they think they play so well in selling LASIK.
