Saturday I received a letter from NHS that I have been randomly selected to join a national medical research project called Biobank because of my age. I have agreed to take part and booked an two hour appointment with them in March, where they take my blood, urine and saliva for a long term study and storage and generally enquire about my health. There is probably some prodding and poking involved as well but I am sure I can take it.
I might get called back sometime in the future or they might never contact me again. Who knows, something that lurks in my genes might shed light to some obscure medical condition and I might in avertedly help some one somewhere at sometime. The study won’t probably help me personally at all, but who knows because it might help my little nephew Young Vic in the future.
Another thing is that maybe the study will reveal something nasty lurking underneath that might not come to light otherwise. We'll see ;)
