Derrell Thomas joins Dr. Erich Schramm to talk about his experience as a clinical trial participant. The two discuss Derrell's history growing up in a military family, his faith, sport, music background, and the need to keep a healthy weight to support his lifestyle. Dr. Schramm asks about how Derrell, who joined a weight loss study, is liking the process. Derrell talks at length about his experience, the benefits of weekly contact with medical professionals, and how much he is learning about his own medical situation with included imaging and testing. They also discuss the concept of blinding, where neither the doctor nor patient know if the patient has received an investigational medication or a placebo, and that even patients receiving a placebo tend to have good medical outcomes due to the clinical trial process alone.
