I've just had to disappoint my doctor's research coordinator by declining to participate in a clinical trial for a new #crohns medication under study.

I'd be willing to participate generally, but the time commitment is just too much. Numerous pre-launch visits, two endoscopies (colonoscopies) and then monthly follow ups for the first three months alone.

Not with a new job, unfortunately.
She was so disappointed when I wound up declining. I'm sure it's hard to find willing and able participants in central PA, though. So I get it.

But it's still a no for me.
