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?
