Hello,

I am having hard time obtaining a value from a function. "fit" is a survival
function that produces some results, such as "median", "confidence
intervals" etc. But str() function does not list these values. How can I extract these to be able use them? For example, I need "median" value for the group DrugA which is 48. "Print" function does not reveal them either.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say the "Print" function does not "reveal them". For one thing the function is spelled "print" and for another thing I see the desired "48" in the output.

So the answer in your case is:

summary(fit)$table[1, ]
