My idiot kid dated a girl in college who had poor parents and she would do medical trials to make spending money - I found out about all this years later. She had just turned 18.
Anyways she had to do a blood test for some drug they had her taking and as soon as they tested her blood she became a VIP there. Not sure what was great about it since she was half black, but they started having her come in ever 20 days to give a pint of blood and we're paying her $300 for it.
She kept doing it for a few months then they moved her up to every 15 days, then 10, still paying her every time, so she was all about it. But she started getting sick more often and was tired all the time and sleeping 14-15 hours a night and missing classes.
She asked to cut back to once a month or every other month and they refused. She said she would quit and then her teachers started pressuring her to keep doing the trials because it was good for her grades.
She was super stressed and started smoking a lot of marijuana to cope. My son dumped her around then because he said she became a zombie and was useless. We didn't hear anything else because she wouldn't talk to him after that. But he said he saw her a few months later and she was bone skinny and looked lost.
This was at a huge public school in the north east.
