Parexel International

Track of the day Drop And Roll - John Scofield.

parexelIf you have time to spare and want to earn around £100 pounds a day, volunteering for medical research might seem like a good idea.

Unfortunately two young men are critically ill in London's Northwick Park Hospital and four others very seriously ill in intensive care after they suffered a violent reaction to a new drug, TGN 1412, given to them as part of a clinical trial organised by Parexel International.

Parexel's website suggests that:
You may be helping friends and family by being involved in the development of a new medicine or helping to improve an existing one.
You’ll receive a thorough medical check up – FREE!
You’ll be paid for your time and inconvenience.
Free food for the duration of your stay – and NO shopping or washing up!
You'll have plenty of free time to read or study, or just relax - with digital TV, pool table, videogames, DVD player, and now FREE Internet access!
You can even just catch up on some sleep!
It all sounds very attractive, but on this occasion something obviously went terribly wrong.

The information page for the tests that went wrong is here.
