Pan Idiot God Of Chaos

i got the first dose and almost immediately fainted. they had to call in a whole medical team and it was a huge fucking deal

i was kicked out of the study and got a phone call later where they were supposed to tell me what the drug was, so i could avoid it in the future. they told me it was saline water. a placebo. i fainted from the placebo effect.

anyway, it's been a few months and i just got an email from the same department asking me to be a research participant in a new study: testing the effects of open-label placebo.

open label placebo is when the subjects and the researchers all know it's a placebo. they're testing the power of my mind. my power to imagine anything.

Okay, guys, I think I have a new one: tell me about a time that you or somebody you know- like you know this story personally- tell me about a time that you or somebody you know, either separately or together or neither of you, were actually involved or not- like think- and it could be an instance too. So tell me about a time- time or an instance or even a place that you and this person that you know- you know this person, so this isn’t a random person- tell me about a time or- or a place or an instance that you or this person, either separately or together (could be either one, maybe none of you, honestly) were involved in this, but- or- or not involved like- but tell me about a time that you or this other person or none of you or all of you- or an instance or a place or a thing- could be a thing too- tell me about a time that you- [laughs]
