Charles Keating (Son of S&L magnate/felon Charlies keating , and father of 
Olympic gold medalist) made millions and millions as one of the pioneers of 
this type surgery.  He was also sued many, many times, usually settling with 
those who hung on long enough ---most just didn't persevere through all of 
the delays, postponesments, etc.  He blinded a number of people.  His biggest 
problem seemd to be 'quantiy vs. quality'.  He and his employee docs saw more 
patients than they should have seen.  He finally volunatrily gave up his 
medical license a year or two ago, before bomex could take it forcefully.  He 
is still rich.  Sometimes there is no justice.
