3rd Boston Medical Center

October 11, 2011

 

I thought that I might publish some of the first recordings that I made with the recorder that I got a few weeks ago.

 

I made this recording at Boston Medical Center, probably on September 14, 2011.

 

Near the beginning of the recording, I mention that I’m going into Boston Medical through an entrance that is near the emergency room, in the Menino Pavilion.

 

 

Near the end of the recording, a woman sneezed at me as I passed her in the hall; I wasn’t sure when I made the recording if she got on the tape, but she did.

 

 

A few days ago I heard an ad on the radio that was advertising for people to try “clinical trials for Crohn’s disease at Boston Medical Center!”

 

It seems to me that clinical trials shouldn't be advertised to people as if it were better to participate in a clinical trial than to get treatments that have already been through all of their testing phases and have already been approved and in use for at least a few years.
