CSI Las Vegas

Anybody watch it last night?

I thought it was not a good PR for clinical trials!

I watched it too and thought the same thing. That poor boy with all the reactions from the medicines was sad to see and him scared of the doctor administering the meds.

I watched it and you are correct - it portrayed clinical trials in a very bad light.  I do wonder if there are clinical trials like that?  That child was only HIV positive - he was asymptomatic from the disease, but he was dying from the treatments.  That mother should never have put him into the trial in the first place, so, I guess it also made her look very bad.  I think what should be taken away from it is that you really need to do your homework before getting involved in clinical trials.

I know that sometimes people get free treatment in trials.

They did make a stab at the doctor who owned the drug company, but I wish they'd had some dialog in there about how important trials are to finding better ways to do things and how unethical that fellow was.

A lot of people don't know anything about trials and I'd hate for them to think what they saw on TV was the truth.

Nothing to do with Clinical Trials, but GRISSOM IS LEAVING this week!! Can't believe it! Think he and Sarah will end up together or will he be a bug-studying hermit in a cave somewhere?

They ruined the show when Grissom left I have now switched to the Miami show.  Got to love Horatio and his corney lines.

 I don't watch it anymore since they got rid of Grissom. That was like getting rid of Monk in Monk. I've been watching C.S.I Miami for a long time...just love Horatio.
