What if your doctor's visits were unhurried, filled with in-depth discussions about your health and the treatments offered to you? Rather than the usual 10 to 20 minutes with your physician, imagine spending hours understanding your medical history, potential risks, and benefits of treatments. This episode takes us into the world of clinical research through the eyes of Brenda, a repeat participant of our clinical trials. She candidly shares her experiences, the knowledge she's gained, and the significant improvements in her health, painting a vivid picture of the potential benefits of clinical research.
Dr. Michael Coran joins the conversation, shedding light on the efforts made in clinical research to ensure transparency and comprehensibility of the trials for participants. We delve into the importance of understanding the potential risks and benefits of investigational medications or procedures, and how this information can empower patients to make well-informed decisions. Brenda's life-changing experiences and health improvements illustrate the possible real-world consequences. An intriguing point to note is that these benefits could emerge even when a placebo is given, a phenomenon attributed to the increased attention from medical personnel. Brenda's journey of personal growth and contribution to scientific progress is a story of gratitude, resilience, and hope, and we're sure it will touch your heart as it did ours.
Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.
