Shot one behind me

Today was "day 1" in the Boceprevir trial for anemia.
With six hours passed, I feel fine except for a little tiredness  and fogginess.
Let's hope my night is uneventful.
One down...47 to go!

If you get into the procrit arm, will they do the procrit shots in the office (to verify it for the study) or let you take it home?

I guess it would be difficult to decide if a participant would wish for the anemia (and the arm sorting that takes place) or not.  Good luck.
