Holding Your Breath Also Might Work

Here's a fitting postscript to yesterday's article about wishful-thinking-based enrollment strategies: we received a note from a research site this morning. The site had opted out of my company's comprehensive recruitment campaign, telling the sponsor they preferred to recruit patients their own way.

Here's the latest update from the coordinator:

I've found one person and have called a couple of times, but no return calls.  I will be sending this potential patient a letter this week.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed in finding someone soon!

They don't want to participate in a broad internet/broadcast/advocacy group program, but it's OK -- they have their fingers crossed!
