One of the most common complaints patients have regarding their visit to the doctors office is "they didn't spend any time with me!".  That doesn't happen in clinical research.  In order to be thorough in collecting information, we have to ask numerous questions, check multiple assessments, perform lab tests and much more.  Very importantly, in order to understand the risks of any new product, we need to know exactly how it is affecting you.  For that, we need to listen to what you have to say.  Own 25+ years of clinical research, I can't recall a time a patient said that we didn't spend enough time with them.
