Dr. Conard visited Rongelap in September 1966 and found these patients
to be without new medical problems,
The nodules in the thyroids of the remaining patients seem to be
controllable by the administration of thyroid hormone,
Decisions
regarding possible surgery for them and further medical regimens are
being deferred until the next annual survey of the Marshallese next
month by Dr, Conard and his team.
