the call

got a really strange phone call today.

woman called from something called "cognitive baseline research group" or something like that. very professional. very polite.

said my doctor had referred my case to them as part of a study on "individual variation in response to medications"

i asked what that meant and she said basically they're researching why some people don't respond to certain medications. said they're particularly interested in cases like mine where there's "complete non-response to harmony."

then she said they'd like me to come in for some tests. cognitive assessments. maybe a brain scan. "non-invasive, just to understand your neural baseline."

she said they'd pay $500 for one afternoon.

i asked where they're located. she gave me an address about 30 minutes away.

i said i'd think about it.

after i hung up i looked them up online. their website is pretty basic. corporate. they're listed as a subsidiary of something called "miter corporation."

i feel like i KNOW that name from somewhere. i can't remember where. it's driving me crazy. i know it's not the same company the doctor said makes harmony but i can't but my finger on it.

the woman said to call back if i'm interested. gave me her direct number.

$500 is a lot of money. and i'm curious why harmony isn't working on me.

but also. this feels weird right?

or am i just being paranoid again?
