Clinical Trials as a Favor to the Patient
August 1, 2013 | DiabetesHealth contributing editor Patrick Totty talks about his experience as a clinical trial participant. "I'm not a complainer or a screamer, so when his crew is poking and prodding me, and making me get in uncomfortable positions so they can attach various whatnots to me, they know I'm pretty easy to work with. My secret is simple: These people are doing me a favor, so a little pain or discomfort is fair trade." DiabetesHealth
