And I think it also just like, you know, unfortunately, like, again, I think that we see many of us see where this is the worst system. to have where medicine is a business. And I think because these are, as you said, elective procedures, it's not to say that no one who has these conditions should ever have surgeries.

But this place in particular, I mean, it starts to sort of cross over into this idea of like a ketamine clinic, like Dr. Kirkpatrick's. And especially when you're treating stuff that is very real, but also very subjective and very based on the reports of a patient or a caregiver, right?

Where you're talking about things like chronic pain, where there's just a lot of like abuse that can happen by doctors who are profit motivated. And there are a lot of these, you know, maybe same considerations about risks and informed consent and all that kind of thing.

But with that said, like if you have a business and you're building a business off doing this procedure as these people appear to have, then you're sort of looking at, it sort of becomes a relationships of clients instead of patients. And I think that that really fundamentally changes things.

And when you are looking at someone who the allegations are this sinister and disturbing, then you need to look at, okay, why? Why would someone who's a neurosurgeon do this? And in this case, there is a pretty clear-cut financial motive. So the money piece comes up in a bunch of these lawsuits.

And the majority of the lawsuits we found had to do with the Chiari Institute, which is where Bolognese was until 2014. But there are several that have to do with his work afterwards. And again, we do not believe that we have found all of these. So TBD on that. but that they were out of network for major insurance plans.

And so that there were times where they could get partial reimbursement, but also that the surgeon's fees were billed separately and often exceeded what insurance would cover, and that they paid substantial out-of-pockets amounts sometimes exceeding $50,000 per surgery. So in multiple of these complaints, the families alleged that they were required to pay tens of thousands of dollars up

upfront or rebuild exorbitant amounts postoperatively for procedures that were later deemed unnecessary or experimental. So I think that if we are to posit a motive, I think follow the money and that appears to be there.
