There's a recent post about the "holiday slowdown" in the general thread. If there's a place that can come up with studies fast i think it would be PPD since they are so large...but that's a guess. I would think somewhere in texas there will be another study in December.

I'll pay someone that's willing to change their screening date for this study from the 2nd of January to the 19th of December. I need to screen the 2nd!! This is the good paying study that checks in on the 13th of January. See Evansville thread for more. thanks
ALSO, if your thinking of canceling on the 2nd let me know before you do and i can pay for that as well! Pay pal or in person if your near me.
Thanks!

Nice, emphasis on the "stomoch" seems to be the consensus here. though i don't mind the food much...could be healthier for one...my problem is sleeping well at this place... but that's just me not much the clinics fault. And it also bugs me how with the longer stays it doen'st stay at a constant $250 or higher rate...for example this one goes to $236 a night...splitting hairs i know, but if i'm gonna stay that long here i'd prefer little higher per night rate...if anyone one of those fine folks that run are listening!

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I'm will pay at least $100 for someone to switch screening dates with me that is scheduled on the 2nd of January as i am scheduled on the 19th of December (9am) of and really need that date free now. This is the good paying study that checks in on the 13th.
Please Please let me know if you can help me out, just reply to this thread and then we can share contact info on the private messages here and take it from there. I can pay through paypal or bring cash to you if possible.
Thanks much!

Hey Eagles fan, i posted on this before (about 7 posts down), so see that for more responses. I would say don't try to schedule a screening/check-in the day after dental work (with lidocane or Novocain) since there could be a chance...however slight.
That being said i talked to my clinic about dental work and they said to hold off on when in a study and before...of course sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...especially if your in pain.

I can confirm that they DONT use VCT as of todays date. Basically, I would NOT recommend traveling far to get this place. Screening is pain in the A because of the long process of reading all consents verbatim and the fact that you have to come again another day just for a two minute physical.
Another grip is they schedule a lot of backups (at least for mys study) and the pay for that is bad...only $75 while Covance pays a full days pay ($250) for being a backup. I guess that saves costs for PPD since they have so many backups.
Also if you do go for your first time make sure to have Your drivers license AND your social security card (hard copies) with you or they will not check you in. This is the first time i've encountered that among clinics i've traveled to.
Also, (to answer one of my own questions) the completion bonuses can be up to $750, so if you miss an opv your out the OPV pay itself and the 750...so best to do it or get a study with no OPVs.
On the upside if you don't qualify for a study they give out VIV cards to put you in the head of the pack for another study, and they are super huge so lots of studys and there's always the other clinics in Texas if you cant do PPD...this and the good pay for actually being in the study can make up for some of it's negatives.

I've had a screening go close to 6 hours, BUT it was due to a 3 Hour (i crap you not) ECG lay down!! Granted they did tell me this over the phone but it was gently slipped in the usual script they read you and one could have easily not heard it if not paying close attention. So if it's not clear what procedures they are doing at screening be sure to ask over the phone.
btw, i can't speak about a bronchoscopy, but i did have one dosing with a feeding tube...insertion wasn't bad, but pretty irritating and annoying to have it sit there...some people couldn't even get it passed there nose though. This od of dosing is rare and i wouldn't do a study if they keep it in long unless i was really desperate.

Just wondering if they have VCT here...i can't seem to find any talk of it in any of the other VCT focused forums.
Also, how much compensation is lost if you miss a OPV (if a 1 opv study)? Do they add a completion bonus or just drop $200 or so from your total stipend for missing the opv?
thanks

I've seen some dudes on the megabus that could have been Dave Mustaine, though with the 1 bag luggage policy the drummer would be limited to just his snare...and that is so not METAL!
