It is the law of unintended consequences. More people are over all are making studies. And there are reasons for that.
Subjects are in better shape upon screening since there is less dual enrollments. Rookies also stand a better chance since the professionals even though they have better leads can't take advantage of them since they now face mandatory out times. Collateral upside, verification is better for every body even though it sucks for a few.
So if you hear people complaining it's a good thing. Alot more can complain about verification messing up their game because far more people have been able to do studies because of policing of washout periods. It may also results in long term stability. It means that you have to keep your resume current which means you don't wake up one morning and are totally unemployable because you prostituted your self out to Big pharma. You may think you are trying to fix a bad ECG but you are really stuck with jacked up heart! Yes, there many sad stories of individuals no longer able to do studies. The subject becomes the patient after drug tails at the bar of EZ Study Money! If the real rats did not make it through the phase 0 trial what makes you think you are so special? We are the experiment as they are expected to outlast our species.
Stop telling people you are going back to school after the 21st study! Do it. Stop telling people you are going to be rich. Crawl out from your 6 feet under study rotation plan!

Sorry Max that u are screening and not getting in. It sucks!!! Wasted money and time but it is all a gamble because even if your labs great u can still be an alternate. I am staying in state, Florida,for that reason. I usually screen well but am always a little nervous until I get dosed. I have very low personal expenses otherwise I would not be able to do this on a regular basis. Wishing u the best in the future.

well Max I screened for a study in Daytona which is about 2 and a half hrs away and I always get there early and do a good fast and no alcohol or caffeine for three days prior to screening and after waiting and and doing preliminary stuff just before EKG the tech told me that my veins were not good enough only because there were a lot a lot of blood draws and the sponsor said make sure each participant has at least 2 great veins so they thought I would not make it or end up at check in being sent home !!! So it is very frustrating especially when the screeners don't have all the info because if they would have said soing on the phone screening I would not have wasted my time and gas but I guess a lesson learned I'd there are umpteen blood draws ask questions so for me back to the drawing board and so far nothing in state and I am so leary about going out of state for that reason.

I just...I had a interview this morning to be a Route Sales Rep for Frito-Lay but I botched the interview like I did my face with plastic surgery. I always do that. I mean, I'm willing to give this job thing a go if I can just get past the interview. I never get past the interview. I always say soing stupid or can't think of a proper response to their questions. Like...I don't know if it's just my low self-esteem but I'm always hard on myself and tell myself that I can't even get a job as an elephant at Barnum and Bailey's. But at this weight, i'm sure I'd be in the running! I'm 230 still. It will take at least a few more weeks of hard dieting and exercise to get down to 220. My goal right now is to just get down to 215. Forget about hitting 199. That ain't gonna happen. But now that I messed up this interview for a job that paid 50k a year I don't know how committed I will be to losing weight due the depression and disgrace that I have been experiencing. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm losing weight for other than just looking better. The medical studies that are being offered now aren't paying much. I've noticed a downward trend as of late as far as the stipend is concerned. I feel like my life has really hit the wall. We are loved thats it no condition! When we start to reason why we love then it's no longer is. We can always be better. A baby can always crawl further. A fish can swim deeper but because it does not can not eliminate that it's a fish. They invited you to interview because you offer them the possibility of being an amazing rep. The possibility which is you still exist whether you believe it or not. Many people are stuck doing studies at 6 feet 87 kg because they invested in they are not. Infact you and that person are in the same boat. Remember always, "¡I am!"!
