Do MDs and hospitals get money for trials?
I know this sounds like a tendentious question, especially coming from a sawbones hater like me. But I really need to know this for very specific reasons. I am being offered participation in certain trials by MDs here in Argentina who are telling me not to do other trials. Their reasoning against the trials they aren't offering aren't very convincing, and I am wondering if they might have a special reason for offering me their particular trial. Like money.
So: can anyone tell me if the hep MDs or their hospitals receive money for signing up patients for trials?
Thanks.

Interesting website, but I couldn't find anything on it about trials. There is also no contact email address (typical of Argentine websites!).
How do you find out the study site from that location name (SANTURCE, Puerto Rico, 00909)?\

Sorry, I thought there was some reason that Rocker mentioned Puerto Rico. Not a terrible idea for you. You should have the language skills and it's a cheaper cost of living than the US. I looked at the trial and it seemed okay to me. No exclusions for cirrhosis, 4 out of 5 chance of getting the PI.
might be a long shot but googled this info

Assuming you speak the language, see if you can get in touch with a department that has information regarding clinical trials.

Good try, hon, but actually I'm nowhere near Puerto Rico. I was just trying to find out how to decipher the clinicaltrials.gov website.
For the BI201335 Phase II trial, the website gives this for the New York site:
1220.40.007 Boehringer Ingelheim Investigational Site Recruiting
New York, New York, United States
Any idea what this means? (1220.40.007 is obviously not a postal code. And there are more than 100 hospitals in New York City.)
