This explains why some of us were ill prepared to speak at FDA hearings in 2010. Some didn’t show up because FDA said you might speak if your name came up
in a lottery. One needs to buy airline tickets in advance to get a good price, so who buys in advance not knowing if they would be allowed to testify?
I wasn’t prepared to read Linda Brocato’s speech because I didn’t know if I would be allowed to read it, even after checking with the FDA sign up desk out front.
I agree with Bob’s comments, the FDA wanted us to be confused.
I believe this really is excellent information. Most of men and women will concur with you and I ought to thank you about it !
