I think it was pretty irresponsible of you not to state your conflict up front. Intuitive Surgical is one of HysterSisters' sponsors. The fact that you are saying that the FDA is overstating the 1/352 number, and that the ACOG number of 1/1000 fibroids is cancer based on what you see around HysterSisters is also hardly statistical. Fibroids are the reason for 35% of the 540,000 hysterectomies done each year for benign conditions. You do the math. Whether it is 1/352 or 1/1000, those risks are not ok. Money has blinded you.
