Covance, anyone?

I was wondering if anyone has been to the medical testing with covance, they have a couple of oppenings, you basically go on a Saturday, stay the night, and leave Sunday with £230

Also, I hope they test a new, better version of viagra on me.

You might get the drug that they tested on those blokes a month or so ago that made their heads swell up like a NikNak.

There is a positive side to it! It might affect the other head and then I'll be more of a legend among girls than I am right now :cool:

I knew some guys that did medical testing, they got paid handsomely but got awful big headed about it.

Well yeah I guess the animals are used in the first stages on the drug, we are at the very last where they only test for, hopefully, how long the drug stays in your body, heart rate, this and that.

I'm not trying to slam you here.

But I could never participate in those experiments, knowing that animals have suffered in such ways I have just seen.

Monkeys have eyebrows

Those are pretty grim images!

basmic · 11 May 2006 at 13:13

Fair enough, the drugs may be safe enough to be tested on humans. Only because countless animals have suffered, beforehand.

I'm beginning to wish I didn't Google for Covance now.

Fair enough dude, it's a neccesity though, if we could created drugs that could be tested 100% on computer then sure, but till then...

Well, I doubt they're going to be using you for LD50 testing, but stuff could still go wrong. No doubt you'll be signing all kinds of legal documents before you start, I'd recommend reading them before signing.

I'd do it as long as it was:
- non genetic
- i knew it was a placebo

Why would they test a placebo :confused:

I mean, there has been just one case in all these years of testing, surely I can't have such a bad luck!
