Doubtful.  Dr. Lowelife spends every waking moment on bitcointalk and reddit so it seems.  A malpractice suite which stuck is one hypothesis which springs to mind, and could explain an early and intense interest in asset protection.  A clinic full of subordinate eye frying minions would be another.  Neither these or countless others are really interesting enough for me to spend much time on, but perhaps others who are more into such things would ferret out this mystery.

Many of my co-workers kept a stock market ticker within easy visual reach and referred to them about 60 times per hour as they performed the tasks of the day.  That's fine for code monkeys, but for someone doing eye surgery with laser beams it's an entirely different ball of wax.
