What does make sense to me, if I can be clear and blunt, is that Ms Nugent is talking about information that has not yet been disclosed to the patients. When I see there were patients with undescended testes who were waiting far in excess of the recommended timeframe for treatment and that they were placed at real and known risk for fertility issues or cancer, that jumps out at me. Again, I want to know if any of those patients were identified and contacted about those concerns.
