Went to enroll as a subject in a medical experiment. This not my first time as a subject. I do not know if they still do it but way back when colleges use to be recruiting grounds for medical test subjects. I was once put to sleep with drug that later was marketed as ETHRANE, an anesthetic that was widely used in the 1970's but is now off the market.
I was in a cohort study looking for a correlation between pre medications before anesthesia and memory awareness. That study led to the development of VERSED, a popular amnesic that is still in use today.
When i worked at the Aeromedical research center at Fort Rucker Alabama, i was involved in the development of a new helmet for helicopter pilots as well as an experiment in oxygen consumption during simulated "auto rotation" events. Guess what ? if your helicopter is about to go down, you consume more oxygen. I also conducted studies in the reduction of blood loss for total hip replacements by the use of a group of blood pressure lowering drugs, most of which are now off the market.
