We just received the info below, which might be of interest to anyone with afib who is in Philadelphia, Dallas or Chicago…

I have a client who would like to interview 45 people in Philadelphia, Dallas and Chicago who have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, in mid March. These in-person interviews will last for no more than sixty minutes. Each participant will receive $125, in cash, as a thank-you for their time and trouble. There will be no testing of any treatments or drugs–all we’re interested in is some insight into the experiences people are having treating AFIB. I can be reached, anytime, on my cell phone, at 347-302-9896, or via email at pfc@nyc.rr.com. This is not a sales presentation of any sort–strictly medical opinion research.
