Just my 1 3/4 cents' (Cdn.)worth, but if I don't hear it from the horse's mouth, I am skeptical. Especially with medical info. I am a medical writer, but even so, when I'm a patient or a patient's mother I find I don't necessarily hear everything correctly. All it takes is a couple of misinterpretations as the 'info' is passed on from one person to another to mess up the facts. Can you talk to the staff person yourself? It seems to me if there is any kind of unethical practice going on, they should be reporting it.
This issue, in particular, could be a very serious one, and it can hopefully be followed up. An inquiry to the NIH or whatever agency does the IDE's and approvals should bring some answers.
