Where Can I Find Decent Paying Clinical Trials For Healthy People?


I’ve been searching both clinicaltrials.gov and http://crnet.mgh.harvard.edu for local trials at harvard affiliated hospitals, and it seems like everything requires you to be suffering from aids or cancer or some other horrible terminal illness. I know I’ve seen things like intestinal studies where you just get an endoscopy or just getting MRI/PET scans and it said you got paid $500-600 for them, but I can’t find anything like those anymore and healthy people ones are usually like blood donations for $25 a visit or something worthless like that. I know about sleep studies, but I can’t do them because I have a lot of responsibilities here at home.

Vet Hospital Sending Out Fecal Sample. Thought This Was Always Done In-house. Is This Kosher?


I have a kitten who received Revolution but who just may have other intestinal parasites not covered by Revolution, so I took her to a new vet two days ago. I’ve taken fecal samples for other cats in the past, and they’ve always just checked the poop under a microscope in the vet’s office. This is a nationally-affiliated vet hospital, but they told me they would send it out and call me yesterday with the results. Well, they didn’t call, and when I called them at the end of the day, they said they hadn’t gotten any results in. So this was the second weirdness, as I’ve never had fecals done out of office and definitely have never had results on a simple test be unavailable the next day. I did pay for it, and the vet was very gentle and helpful with this kitten. But don’t you think this is unusual?
