ln good health.
:17:15
Right! Put her on the left hand pile.
:17:24
Hello?
:17:25
Jon Knoblau here.
The reporter.
:17:27
We spoke in
the High Court canteen.
:17:30
l looked things up in the medical
register and you were quite right.
:17:35
Frank Riber was at
Århus from 1944 to 1951 -
:17:40
- before being made a consultant
at the Bispebjerg.
:17:44
So the entire
Medico-legal Council -
:17:45
- was either employed under
Malmros or at the same hospital.
:17:50
They must have known him
professionally and in private.
:17:58
The term ''conflict of
interest'' springs to mind.
:18:02
Yes.
:18:05
l assume that what l'm about
to tell you is off the record.
:18:09
Of course.
:18:11
Since 1949 a secret
record has been kept -
:18:15
- of any patient given Thorotrast.
:18:17
The patients have
not been informed.
:18:21
They are ... so to speak
... being followed to the grave.
:18:25
So far c.300 of the 1 100 given
Thorotrast have died of cancer.
:18:29
So the National Board of Health
doesn't want it getting out.
:18:34
There'd be a scandal
of monstrous proportions.
:18:40
Where should l look?
- The record is a problem of access.
:18:44
But l hear that it's not quite true
that no warnings were given.
:18:49
Check out medical periodicals
and textbooks from those days.
:18:54
Ask Frank Riber if he might
have conflicting interests.
