Make tons of money, ignore bad outcomes, gaslight the injured, and just keep pretending everything is fine while you continue selling dangerous products and services. Just another day in the medical biz. (No, not everyone in the biz, but often enough to use caution and to do your own research BEFORE you subject yourself to a procedure or pharmaceutical).
Even when bad outcomes ARE actually rare, it's worth remembering: Even rare outcomes happen to actual people, and when it happens to YOU, it happens 100%.

The suicide of a 26-year-old Pennsylvania police officer over the after-effects of the popular eye surgery LASIK was not an isolated incident, with others saying it left them with agonizing and life changing symptoms, patients and doctors told The Post.
LASIK providers say the procedure is 95% to 99% safe, but one LASIK survivor said she had suicidal ideations for two years after her “disastrous” surgery in 2000.
She also claimed to know of at least 40 people to have taken their own lives because they couldn’t take constant pain and vision problems, developed after the procedure.

Just another day in the Great Awakening. Sigh.
There is an outspoken critic of the procedure and how the system turns a blind eye to those injured, if you'll pardon the expression. That person is Cynthia Mackay. If you want to go deeper she is a good resource to follow-up.
