Day -1

Well, the fact that I am still here means I must I have passed the screening. One of my room mates just said that the doctor is telling everyone as they do the physical if they are getting dosed or not. The thing is no one is leaving, so why would people be required to stay if they weren't going to be dosed tomorrow. It just doesn't add up, so I am pretty sure he is wrong.

Regardless if whether I find out in a few minutes when I get my physical or tomorrow morning, I am pretty sure I am going home. That is because every time I have done standing vitals my heart rate was over the acceptable range. That doesn't necessarly mean I cant take the drug, but it does increase the chance that eight people are in a better position then I am. There are a few things that I have learned that seem to show other people are having worse problems then I am. For example a few people had to have blood redrawn because their labs were bad. (remember my hope that people drank on new years, well maybe they did) Also one of my room mates got sick last night for no apparent reason.

If I had no heart rate problem then I would be in the clear, but other peoples bad blood tests and getting sick might be enough to make it so anyway. Also if I do go home tomorrow I am pretty sure I get paid for how long I have been here, so that means I would get about $450 and I would be put on priority for the next trial since I hadn't taken the drug yet.  I wasn't told that about this trial, but I know that's standard procedure for the trials I have been in before.  I'll post again today if I learn anything more.
