I'm oh so tired...

Feb 19, 2007 18:27

I'm exhausted. I don't think I've slept more than 17 hours altogether for the past three nights. Not good. Not enough. Blah. Another reason for feeling slightly blah is that confounded tube I had in my arm all day yesterday. Man, I think that was the longest day I've ever had. Started at 6:30, finished at 1:00 - both a.m. And all through the day ( Read more... )

Is the emphasis on the 'why' or on the 'again'? Well, I guess I'll answer both questions:
1) It's not the same test every time done over and over, it's a continuation - they need to see over time how much of the drug I took is still in my system.
2) I get paid.

really?
how much are you being paid? how did you get into it?
I've been thinking of doing something like that for a while.

1000 shekel for both stages. The people who didn't make it past the first stage (for genetic reasons) are only getting 150.
They actually came to us - they needed a large enough group that was non-smoking, not on meds and generally healthy to test on - there are a lot of those kinds of people in yeshivot and midrashot. The group also had to be large enough for their effort to come to the midrasha to do it instead of us going to Hadassa all the time.
Frankly, I don't know if you can do it independantly - I think they go for groups. But there are planty of things like this out there. For instance, they did this same experiment at all these universities, I'm sure they had a sign up for it - just send a scout to the closest university to check it out.
