I know but the fact that people have been sending me money makes me feel like I'd be letting them down if I removed them... pictures say a thousand words

If things got to that point I'm sure they'd let you leave. Obviously they'd try and dissuade you/counsel you first, but they couldn't keep you prisoner... I hope

Ok ty. Wow that would suck to owe money to stakers... Be a lot of pressure

Gl bro

too lazy to read the hundreds of posts before mine, so I am sorry if this has already been mentionted, but wtf is in that can that says "swine flu" on it?

Awesome thread, thanks for the entertainment

im pretty curious about the pink tennis ball too

Hey man,

I am a scientist myself and I am telling you now you are doing a huge mistake. Now my goal is not to freak you out or anything and I do admire the stupidity that made you go thru with that.

Heres the problem : Do you realize you could change after that FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? I am talking about liver/blood/kidney/heart problems that will stick forever?

I always wondered what kind of people did that, glad I found out.

You know I had a few friends that did that themselfs but they did drugs that were in "phase 3" which mean that they went thru phase 1 and 2 first. If you are doing a phase 1 drug it means it was tested on rats before you and they have no idea what it will do to a human body.

Sorry but, you might regret this later man. (when you are 35 and your doctor tells you that your kidneys are dead.....:\)

I'm not a scientist, but am pretty sure this is neither the scientific definition nor an accurate depiction of phase 1 testing.

Yea english not first language.

It's not like this is my field but you get my point. Phase 0 and Phase 1 = They have no clue what will happens. Phase 2 and 3 = more safer but still some long term risks.

When they pay 8k, it's usually a phase 1/0 = danger zone.

Oh and it would awesome if you are into a placebo group, maybe you are getting no drugs really

epic plo analogy itt

Lower pulse = less tilt?

The people who got paid £2000 to test drugs in UK swelled up like elephant man, "They normally pay in the hundreds but i new the risks"

Now if OP is getting £4500 odd quid... jus saying.

extra gl op

are we shipping op maney itt

He was suppose to kill the contaminated pig (tennis ball) with the spray then use the antibacterial gel ldo

you were still covering rent and bills? that's not degen at all

also, your nipples are disgusting

elbows are also too pointy

Im not going to hijack this thread, I'll only answer questions if you don't know the answer, mainly to inform you cause at this point I'm convinced you didn't read everything you 'should' have read.

You're free to leave at any point, they can't hold you there against your will. Should you decide to leave before the test is finished they're legally obliged to pay you for every day you've been in there. The reward for doing those tests is based on the amount of days and the amount of times they're taking blood/giving you medicine.

I can tell you picked a test with a LOT of risk, hence why the reward is unusually high. Anyway, should you decide to leave after 30 days for example, they WILL give you around 6k. If they're kicking you out for things like theft, not being in the right place at the right time too often or whatever, you're getting nothing.

Phase 1 means it's the first time the drug is being on tested on humans, yes. Creepy detail, those drugs have been tested on animals of various sizes until they die. Rats first, then small dogs, monkeys last. They increase the amount of medicin given to those animals til the point where they die, then give the human subjects an amount of medicin equal to the maximum those animals could handle.

Phase 1 pays more than phase 2 for obvious reasons, higher risks! OP, if you're planning on ever doing this again in the future I'd advice you to join tests that excist of multiple groups. For example when there's 5 groups, group 1 get's the lowest amount of medicin BUT its the first time it's being tested on humans. Group 5 gets the highest amount (cant think of the correct english term, sorry) of medicin. If you're smart you sign up for group 2 or 3.

Amazing thread, subscribed of course.

OP, you should learn badugi and kill the tournaments. Easy game.

Edit: And why don't you ask your fellow inmates (can I call you that?) to turn off their sound and/or put on head phones when they play poker? That sound would drive me insane.

sick thing is hes planning on grinding with all his new monies

8k????????????? that's pennies

Mh, you do realize that 2+2 is a gambling forum? GTFO.

Awesome thread. Nurse pictures and it could be the best thread of all times, imo.

And you would be wrong. This was pointed out already but Phase 1 is the first round of testing in humans. There's a few ways of testing but the main point is "to confirm the safety of the drug for use by humans". Read that a couple times to let the meaning of that sink in.

To the OP, I'm a little confused. Why did you need to do this? You said you were still getting a paycheck from work. Was it a full paycheck or was it a lesser disability payment. If you could pay the bills and save a little when you were working, it seems like you should have been able to do that after you were injured too...

In any case, good luck with the study. I hope it works out for you. And be smart about it...don't risk going through all this and not getting paid.

How can something that has been a totally standard way for (medical) students to make extra bucks on the side for 30+ years deserve an own thread?

Finally online... Massive internet issues here, been offline for the past 12 hours... trying to connect using my phone but that aint working either because according to Optus I need to downlaod some major update for my Galaxy-S which requires.. wait for it... internet. I need internet to get the internet. Head is exploding. Nothing is working in this place. Probably disconnect before finishing this post...

Well, the internet lasted all of 10 minutes before vanishing once again. It’s 1:00 am and I’m playing Goldeneye. Bed 2 brought a N64 and he lent it to me after giving up on Zelda: Ocarina of Time (The Water Temple always gets them).

So, seeing as I can’t respond to anyone’s posts right now I thought I’d write a bit about my fellow inmates/subjects.

Bed 1 is 42 years old, a true veteran of clinical trials. On each study, they give everyone a shirt of the same color to distinguish your group from any others. On this study they gave us a purple shirt (beat). This guy has every colored shirt ever given out. He brought them to this study, and wears a different color each day. He’s deeply religious, although to his credit he does not preach or even mention it, it was only through a conversation that it came up. He grinds freerolls and $2 tourneys on Tilt.

Bed 2 is 22 years old, into football, surfing, diving. He’s joining in me in a commitment to not shave for the duration of this study. He was playing NL10 and had grinded $10 into $100 before our ****** intenet connection cost him a pot worth almost his whole stack, no he’s on his third day of a thirty day self imposed ban. We get along well, cabin fever brings out similiar things in us.

Bed 3 is also 22, and a friend of Bed 2 from the outside. He grinds $5 6 man sng’s and has cashed in around 10 straight games, tomorrow he’s moving up to $10 6 mans. He also thinks I should give up PLO and go back to NLHE, maybe he’s right.

Bed 4 is 20 years old, very quiet, and plays COD most of the day. No, all of the day.

I’m Bed 5.

Bed 6 is 26, does some acting work, and claims to have had a 5 figure roll at some point, playing high stakes live and winning 12k pots, although after watching him play $2 mtt’s with little success, some of us doubt the credibility of these claims. He’s the loudest of us, or the one that stands out the most.

Bed 7 is a 25 year old backpacker from Britiain. This gig is perfect for him. He’s a quirky little guy, has shown me Russell Howard and given me all seasons of Dexter.

Bed 8 has the same name as me, and is friends with Bed 2 and 3. He’s studying marketing and public relations, and was born for it. He could be a stand up comic with ease, I think he’s a genius.

It’s a good group, and I’m pretty lucky. I would hate being stuck in a room with tossers for 42 days.

Just a can of disinfectant. As for the pink tennis ball, f*ck knows, think it belongs to one of the guys. They've taken to playing cricket in the hallway. Already broken one ceiling light :P

Let's hope, cause this sh*tty intenet is tilting the hell outta me!

I for one think that's a smashing idea

I'm truly sorry you didn't like my nipples, but I didn't want your post to be in vain so I found some that might be more up your alley:








tyvm. I'll look badugi for sure. Before people shipped me $ I was playing play money 7 card stud, no way in hell I'd play that for cash even, you need to be wayyy more switched on and have a good memory.

And I managed to score some spare earplugs from Bed 2 Put them in last night when I went to sleep, they're sick, it's like the whole world condenses down to the sounds of the blood pumping in your skull
