Yeah, and I think it's more the whole picture that comes through for these lawsuits. So it's not just the experimental neurosurgery. The other thing that comes up a ton in these lawsuits is misdiagnosing patients to justify doing the procedures. The other thing that comes up is failure to disclose the surgical risks and that these are experimental treatments, right?

So as you said, experimental treatments are a part of medicine, but you would ā again, that should be something that is like a last resort after you've tried the rest of ā and you're really like ā in a desperate situation and there's nothing else left to try.

And certainly a doctor who's doing that should disclose to you, we've seen promising results with XYZ or however they couch it, but it should be informed consent, right?

Yeah. And then, I mean, this becomes really layered when you're talking about possible victims of munchausen by proxy, because then like, yes, for a patient, for a non-abusive parent, Then the question is, was that parent properly informed of the risks and able to make the best decision for their child?

Again, like using things off-label is something that happens all the time. I've been prescribed something off-label that was very effective. And it's sort of like one of those things where you want to be able to give people the best available care as long as there's good information about it, even if it's not yet FDA approved, because that can be a lengthy bureaucratic process.
