"Truly" aka "TrulyTelling" aka "Scientist" aka "Bill" aka "Eye" aka "R
Brown" aka "Tabby" aka "Adam" and many, many more aliases is actually
Lauranell Burch, PhD who is employed by the National
Institute of Environmental and Health Sciences (NIEHS) outside of
Durham NC.

When Lauranell Burch had Lasik she was a genetics scientist at Duke
University, yet she has claimed she was "tricked" into Lasik and "had
no idea" surgery has risks. In April of 2006 Lauranell Burch made
serious unsubstantiated public allegations against a colleague at Duke
University, claiming that an affiliated doctor there lied to a
patient, refused appropriate diagnosis, and other dreadful acts. Burch
is no longer employed at Duke University.

To get an idea of Lauranell Burch's objectivity, she drives around
with "Duke University Lasik Destroyed My Vision" or some such nonsense
on the back of her car. NIEHS actually relies on this person for
research!

The fantasy that Burch calls "The LASIK Report", fully attributed to
her, is being distributed to all doctors cited, Burch's employer the
NIEHS, her co-authors of previous studies, and most importantly the
foundations and medical companies who contribute to fund research at
the NIEHS. It seems highly doubtful to me that any medically related
firm or foundation would want to continue funding any research at a
facility that employs someone who deliberately propagates manipulated
medical studies to forward her own agenda.
