IN 1974 AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED BY AEC TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT PATIENTS HAD BEEN TOLD THE NATURE OF THE INJECTIONS AND HAD THEY GIVEN THEIR PERMISSION. AS A RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION (1974) THE DOCTORS OF THE FOUR PATIENTS ALIVE AT THAT TIME WERE CONTACTED AND ASKED IF THEY INFORMED THEIR PATIENTS ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE MED INJECTIONS. ONE PATIENT WAS NOT TOLD, DUE TO THE FACT IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO HER HEALTH. THE OTHER THREE PATIENTS, ALL OF WHOM ARE ALIVE AS OF FEBRUARY 1976, WERE INFORMED.
