One of the things that has been very striking to me is how my most
angry patients often have pretty good results and often my patients
with the worst results are relatively benign and trusting.

If your patients ultimately understood the surgery you performed on
them well enough to have provided informed consent for it... perhaps
they would be angry too?
Perhaps the angry patients are those patients who 'know more' about
what happened to their eyes?

I read the article linked to above and it looks to said that 1 in 4
paitients with complications is unhappy and keeps going to said that in
the study 1 in 8 out of Dr. Maloney's patients with zero complications
is most unhappy. Does he have abnormlally large percentages with
unhappy patients or is this typical percentages? If so this is not a
small to take risk.
pleease excuse poor English of mine.
