Clinical Trials

[King Street Loon]

I was out walking the dog earlier and heard an advert for this Flu prevention company on the radio.

 

Would anyone here consider doing clinical trials for Flu cures or have you done trials for anything else.

 

I'm not sure if I could. Popping pills with the potential for strange side effects only to be rewarded by a nominal sum of cash might not be enough to persuede me.

Plus my Asthma rules me out of the particular study.

 

Any hatters consider signing up for trials??

I've thought about it before, my mother worked at the Rowett for years, they're always after people, problem is they don't pay, if it was for good money I'd neck anything, I was in the acid house days through to the rave culture and necked thousands of tablets made in basements, never did me any harm.

I think the flu company I posted above are paying people to take their drugs.

Me and my mate signed up for one once, it was just to test a new type of paracetamol to see how long it took to leave your system. You had to spend two full days at the lab at the hospital, neck the pill and have some blood samples taken. They gave you a full medical before it too, to check you were in full working order.

Do you get compensated if you go blind or your cock turns black and falls off? Or do you sign a waiver that absolves the company of any blame etc.

 

Not that I'm considering it mind, just concerned for Dayts, even if he isn't.

or he develops an extra nipple or something!

 

i believe they all make you sign waivers. but i don't know how well they'd hold up in the case of some really odd side-effect.

KSL,

 

Was it a local radio station?

 

The site doesn't give a lot away, I've learnt it's a Ukranian firm and they require some people to stay for 15 days but it doesn't say where in the UK they're based, if it's Aberdeen then no problem but i think it looks more aimed at students with spare time on their hands,

[tutankamun]

there was a case relatively recently of one of these trials going BADLY wrong...was there not?

 

Yes there was:

I knew a bloke who done one of those clinical trials. He said he had to eat three slices of bread ladled with some margarine type spread three times a day for a couple of weeks. Said it tasted honking - they were putting some medicine in the spread as a way of them ingesting it I think. Anyway, this was about 15 years ago now and he got over 3 grand for doing it. He paid off a credit card and went on holiday with the change. He didn't have any side effects apart from a wee outbreak of plukes.
