Last night I was at a meeting about an upcoming drug study, and this was one of the slides:
I wanted to ask what they consider REALLY serious.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
I wanted to ask what they consider REALLY serious.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Hiccups.
Once death happens it's done, right? But hiccups, they're just torture. You never know when they're going to end... or if they'll come back. That's some serious shit there.
Lol Moose, that is so true.
Poison ivy. The gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving. . .
This is common terminology in clinical trials. Adverse events (Expected or unexpected) are categorized into two categories: Adverse events and Serious Adverse events. Serious Adverse events includes Grade 3, Grade 4 (hospitalization) and Grade 5 (death) adverse events.
They don't grade adverse events based on oh-not-so serious, maybe serious, serious or really serious.
I love your blog, but this post wasn't post worthy.
Really serious = "super duper untoward..."
It'd be even better if the subjects self-reported these serious adverse effects, just for the flavor.
Slow and painful death, with lots of screaming.
Chronic agonising pain, but no death.
Banging your elbow on that spot where it really hurts.
Anonymous (7-29-14)...Actually, the subjects often do report their adverse events. On one clinical trial I worked on, the adverse event was "husband getting out of jail".
Anonymous at 12:39 is great! LOL!
How about Deadly Adverse Event?
(Certainly, the pharma industry would never accept this one!)
In the event of death, please discontinue medication immediately and contact your health care provider.
