CorpRobinson Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well ive had a long hard think and just applied for two Medical Trials in my local area :  Cold and Flu Vaccine & Sleep Trials  What are peoples thoughts would everyone else do the same for the cash and easyness of the role ?  People had any views or been in the past ?

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2012 I don't need the money, but would definitely do it if I did. Well these ones at any rate.. It's obviously a question of where you draw the line at how risky the trials are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted February 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 If it's sleep trials & stuff like that I'd do it but fuck doing the ones where they lop your toe off & try sticking it back on again or taking some drug in it's early stages. I work in pharmaceuticals & some of the recall notices I see on a daily basis are pretty worrying & that's for fully approved drugs. I dread to think of the risks with first-stage trials.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 My girlfriend took part in one once, it went well. It was purely a memory based research thing and a xray of the brain... she did it as a student and got 30 quid.  The in 2006 i remember reading about this in the paper, and it was also on the news:  medical trial nasty - bbc  I wont lie, it did put me off.

patiirc Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I applied for clinical trials for 'something' whilst at uni, it was based in Crewe and they would pay something ridiculous like 40 quid per day, expenses and travel in order to do it. Being broke I gave it a go, but after some interviewing I was deemed incompatible for the trials. Was bastard gutted, because I needed the cash, not because it may cause long term health issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 I wonder if it was pre Franks birth?If so, it may have influenced the quality of sperm that helped develop the genius that was Frank.Clearly probably not.
