My Life as a Medical Guinea Pig
- Thriptic 12y agoI do some work in a clinical research center at a university. The amateur and unprofessional behavior displayed here angers me, and is certainly not universal across research centers. We have dedicated staff (both NPs and physicians) at our center who take our subjects' mental and physical well being very seriously. We would absolutely not tolerate investigators or staff making disparaging comments for example, or permit situations in which subjects were put in distress.
- mabbo 12y agoFor $10, I once did some kind of research study by the psychology department. I went to a lab, sat at a computer, and answered a quiz. To this day, I'm certain there was some sort of test being done to prime me to answer questions a certain way, or something along those lines, but no one ever told me just what I was being the lab rat for.
